Deviled Cornish Hens

  • Recipe Submitted by on

Category: Poultry

 Ingredients List

  • 8 Cornish hens; 10-12 ounces
  • -each
  • Salt and white pepper
  • 1/2 c Dijon mustard
  • 2/3 c White bread crumbs
  • 3 tb Minced shallots; more or
  • -less
  • 1/2 c Butter; optional

 Directions

Heat oven to 400 degrees.

Rub each bird with salt, pepper and 1 tablespoon of the mustard. Sprinkle
with bread crumbs. Place in a square of foil. Tuck about 1 teaspoon of the
shallots into each bird cavity with 1 tablespoon butter, if desired.

Bring the foil up over the sides of each bird. Seal with a double fold.
Repeat with ends. Leave a little space between the bird and its foil
enclosure so that the crumb coating is not scraped off.

Bake about 50 minutes, or until birds are done. (NOTE: The birdes may not
brown under wraps in this time. If you want them to brown without
overcooking the breasts, open the foil after about 35 minutes and continue
roasting another 15 minutes.)

One Cornish hen makes one generous serving. These are fine for a pre-game
tailgate picnic and other informal occasions. But chill them first unless
they will be eaten within the hour.
