Steps:
- Place the Cornish hens in a mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, combine all the ingredients for the marinade. Add to the hens and toss thoroughly to coat, rubbing the marinade into the cavities as well. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
- Cover the bottom of a bamboo steamer tray (or two, if necessary) with parchment or wax paper and arrange the hens on top, breast side-up. Cover. Fill a wok with 4 or 5 inches of water, so that it will be level with the bottom edge of the steamer and bring to a boil. Place the steamer over the boiling water and steam for 30 minutes, or until cooked. If steaming two layers, stack the layers, increase the cooking time to 45 minutes and rotate the steamers midway through the cooking time. Remove the hens and set aside.
- Empty the wok and line it with heavy-duty aluminum foil. Cover the inside of the lid with foil as well. Combine the ingredients for the tea-smoking mixture except the sesame oil and place half in the bottom of the wok. Balance a smoking rack over it (or, if you don't have one, use a grid made of 8 wooden chopsticks) and arrange two of the steamed hens on top, breast side up. Cover and place over high heat. Cook for about 15 to 18 minutes from the time the smoky smell is apparent. Remove the hens and brush the outside generously with sesame oil. Repeat with remaining hen and tea-smoking mixture and oil, using clean aluminum foil. Let cool slighty and cut the hens in half or carve into serving pieces, then arrange on serving platters.
- Combine the ingredients of the sesame vinaigrette. Before serving, pour the vinaigrette over the Cornish hens.

Steps:
- Whisk together the dry rub, salt and pepper in a small mixing bowl. Season the washed and dried game hens with the rub and arrange on a sheet tray. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium heat, add butter to melt. Once melted, add the shallots and saute until tender. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add the chicken broth and orange juice. Bring to a simmer and let reduce down to 1/2 cup, about 10 minutes. It will easily coat the back of a spoon and be slightly syrupy. Once reduced add the apple cider vinegar and hot sauce. Taste for seasoning.
- Prepare your grill/smoker for indirect heat with charcoal and hickory chips. Maintain your temperature at 275 degrees F.
- Arrange the game hens on the grill and cover. Smoke for 40 minutes. Remove the cover and brush the hens with the glaze, making sure to get into all the nooks and crannies. Cover the grill and smoke for an additional 15 minutes. Remove the hens from the grill, to a serving platter and let rest, covered with foil for 15 minutes before serving.
ROASTED CORNISH GAME HENS WITH SESAME-GINGER SAUCE
This is a recipe I found in a magazine a few years back and it never disappoints! I usually use this for dinner parties because it can be prepared ahead of time and takes very little effort. This calls for Cornish Game Hens but I always use mixed pieces of chicken with the skin on! Just watch because the chicken breasts cook faster than the dark meat. I never alter the ingredients but I do marinate it for at least 4 hours or longer. I serve this with garlic-mashed potatoes and broccoli!! Oh- don't forget the last step with the reserve marinade! Enjoy!!

CORNISH HENS WITH LEMON AND HERBS
For more-generous portions, cook one hen per person. If you do, use two roasting pans, and double the other ingredients.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place hens in a roasting pan, breast sides up. Place 2 thyme sprigs and 1 lemon half in cavity of each hen. Loosen skin from breast, and place remaining thyme and the parsley underneath. Squeeze remaining lemon halves over hens. Rub butter all over hens. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Roast hens, rotating pan halfway through, until skin turns golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 180 degrees, 45 to 50 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes. Cut hens in half lengthwise. Garnish with thyme sprigs, and serve with lemon wedges.
