Asian influenced flavor. Everything he makes looks SO delicious! I can't wait to try this! On the show, he only prepared one Cornish hen, so adjust your times accordingly for multiple hens. Cooking time includes deep-frying and baking time. Ingredients:
1/2 cup hoisin sauce |
1/4 cup honey |
1/4 cup chopped scallion |
crushed red pepper flakes, to taste |
1 cornish hen |
vegetable oil, for deep frying |
Directions:
1. Pre-heat oil in a pot large enough to fit a Cornish hen comfortably, to about 350 degrees.
2. Thoroughly wash and pat Cornish hen dry to avoid unnecessary spatter, and carefully ease into hot oil.
3. Cook for 8-10 minutes on each side until you see that it is turning slightly golden brown around the edges and crispy.
4. Remove and place on cooling rack.
5. In a small bowl, prepare glaze by mixing together first 4 ingredients, adding red pepper flakes to your heat preference. Baste entire hen liberally with the glaze.
6. Pop in pre-heated oven at 350 degrees for about 8 minutes or until it gets crispy.
7. Flip over, and re-baste bottom of hen, and put back in oven for another 8 minutes to crisp up the other side.
8. Let rest before serving. You can cut into quarters for 2 servings, or serve whole.
9. Serve alongside steamed veggies and/or Jasmine rice for a complete meal!
