Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Healthy Recipes     Gluten-Free Recipes

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 Cornish game hens (each about 2 pounds), rinsed and patted dry
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger (2-inch piece)
2 fresh red chiles, seeded and minced (about 2 tablespoons)
1 bunch fresh cilantro, rinsed well and drained
1/2 cup hoisin, plus more for basting

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place hens in a roasting pan. Mix together garlic, ginger, and chiles in a small bowl. Rub garlic mixture over hens and under skin; stuff cavities with cilantro sprigs. Tie legs of each hen together with kitchen twine. Cover; refrigerate 20 minutes.
  • Remove hens from refrigerator, and brush with 1/2 cup hoisin. Roast 35 to 40 minutes, basting occasionally with extra hoisin. Remove from oven, and serve hot.

Tips:

  • Choose the right game hens. Look for hens that are about 1 pound each, with plump breasts and no bruises or blemishes.

  • Make the hoisin sauce. Combine all of the hoisin sauce ingredients in a bowl and whisk until well blended.

  • Cook the game hens. Place the game hens in a slow cooker. Add the remaining ingredients to the slow cooker and stir to combine. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until the hens are cooked through.
