I thought I had posted this in a thread, and it turns out it was a dinner thread. Since I’ll be making this again, I figured I’d go ahead and start a thread about it. Then I can add more pics as time goes on. I’ll start with the original. Later, I’ll add tonight’s update.
Rotisserie Cornish Hen
Ingredients
1 Cornish hen
Favorite rub
Procedure
Fairly simple. Clean the Cornish Hen, then put it on the spit. Tie the legs together in front using butcher’s twine. Now tie the wings together behind the hen using twine. Now rub it with your seasonings. You can also inject it at this point if desired. The idea here is that, even though small, Cornish Hens are a great idea for your rotisserie!
Cook in the rotisserie until golden brown, about 45 minutes to 1 hour. Internal temp of 165. Let rest for 5-10 minutes covered, then cut into pieces, or split in half and serve.
Notes
The rotisserie I use for Cornish Hens is a large toaster oven. We get a lot of use out of our toaster oven. It’s much cheaper running at 110AC than 220AC, and it doesn’t heat things up as much. Plus the rotisserie feature is an added bonus. We don’t use the rotisserie often, but it does come in handy. We also have a big Foreman Rotisserie, but I only drag that out for full size chickens and such….Cornish Hens go in the toaster!
