Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Juice, from 1 can pineapple slices
1/4 teaspoon curry powder
1 teaspoon vinegar (any type)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cornish game hens, about 1 1/2 pounds each
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • For the glaze, cook pineapple juice over medium heat until it has reduced to 2 tablespoons. Stir in 2 tablespoons olive oil and curry powder and cook for 1 minute more. Take off heat and stir in vinegar. Preheat the broiler. Cut the hens in half, using either a cleaver or poultry shears, cutting around and discarding the backbones. Use the palm of your hand to flatten the halves slightly. Brush hens with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the hen halves, skin side down, on a broiler pan and broil for about 5 inches from the heat source for 10 minutes. Brush the hens with the glaze. Turn skin side up and broil for 5 minutes. Brush liberally with glaze and continue to broil for about 5 minutes longer, until the thigh meat juices run clear when pierced with a knife and the skin is nicely browned.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my hens were really dry. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar in the glaze next time.

The hens were a bit dry, but the glaze was delicious. I'll try brining the hens next time to see if that helps.

This recipe was a disaster. The hens were overcooked and the glaze was burnt. Would not recommend.

The hens were cooked perfectly, but the glaze was a bit too tart for my taste. Next time I'll use less lemon juice.
