  • Deep Fry A Cornish Hen!

    omg you guys while I was in BC this weekend I tasted a new dish

    and with a little sweet talk the chef gave me the recipe...it was to die for ....and pretty simple!

    for two hens ..cut them in half and soak in salted water while you prepare the following marinade....

    3 tble hot red chile powder
    1/4 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
    1/4 cup oil
    4 fat cloves of garlic smashed
    2 tble sweet red paprika
    1 tsp kosher salt
    1 tbl dried oregano

    mix well put hens in a ziploc and marinate over night...then remove from marinade pat dry and deep fry in hot oil until crispy brown and done all the way through
    serve with a nice fresh cucumber/tomato salad
    yogurt or sour cream and some coconut chutney..I will post the recipe when I figure it out I know it had ground up coconut, lime, jalepeno, salt and something else ....

    That sounds great Heidi. Now tell me, do you have a deep fryer, or do you fill a heavy saucepan with oil? Do you use peanut oil? I can't seem to find any peanut oil right now. Any idea's where to look?

      I have a deep fryer but to be honest I like filling a heavy kettle with oil and using a thermometer better I think it is more accurate and it is less hassle for me .....

        sorry wont be trying this as amazing as it sounds, bought cornish hens once and hubby advised, 'please don't ever buy these pathetic chickens again..i don't care how good the sale is' that was the end of my cornish hen career.
