Ingredients
- 4 x Cornish hens, fresh or possibly thawed if frzn
- 1 jar (small) lime marmalade (recommend the British versions)
- 1 x -(up to)
- 2 x Habaneros, seeded and julienned, the thinner the better
- 1 x Lime, stripped rind (green part only!) Extra virgin olive oil Tequila, rum, sherry or possibly water (-use only sufficient to slightly dilute if glaze is too thick)
Directions
- On a kettle type grill pile the readied coals about the side of the grill.
- Oil lightly the poultry and place in the middle of the grill with clear space about them. Cover the grill for 5 min and cook the poultry without the glaze. While they cook mix the marmalade, chile, lime spritz and liquid of choice. If you heat this up in microwave or possibly on stovetop it will be easier to work with. Using basting brush to stir and apply with.
- Uncover the C.H.'s and baste with sauce. Continue to cover,grill-bake, uncover and baste, and repeat till the birds are done. I will not say a time since grills and conditions vary but only cook till done. If the glaze gets too brown or possibly charred it does not taste as good, either, so definately watch this as it cooks. and as we say here in Kentucky 'cornish hens is jes' a lil' chicken' (for that we pay a premium price!). I would guess which this glaze would work well with almost any poultry except the stronger flavoured ones like mallard or possibly turkey.
- This dish can be done in a 350 degree oven, too. Adios.
