HOISIN-GLAZED CORNISH HENS
Serves 2
1
⁄
2
cup hoisin sauce
2
tablespoons honey
2
tablespoons soy sauce
1
tablespoon fresh ginger, finely chopped
2
cloves fresh garlic, crushed
2
Cornish game hens, 1–1
1
⁄
4
pounds each,
rinsed and patted dry
In a mixing bowl stir together the hoisin sauce, honey, soy,
ginger and garlic.
Place the hens in a sealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade
into the bag and refrigerate for at least an hour up to
overnight.
When ready to cook, remove hens from bag and place on a
clean work surface. Truss both hens well as you would a
chicken. Insert the rotisserie spit through both hens, securing
the rotisserie skewers with the fixing screws so that they are
stabilized. Secure the rotisserie spit in the oven into the spit
support and socket. Turn oven to 400°F and turn to rotisserie
on the function dial. Roast for 35–40 minutes. For the last 5
minutes of cooking time, turn oven function to regular bake
when the breasts are facing up in order to crisp the skin.
Carefully remove rotisserie spit using the hand grip.
