Home | Healthy Diet Recipes | TEQUILA GAME HENS
 

TEQUILA GAME HENS

Ingredients:

½ cup lime juice
½ cup lemon juice
1/3 tsp orange juice
1 tbsp splenda
1 cup tequila
1/3 medium onion, minced fine
¼ cup olive oil
2 tbsp worchestershire sauce
1 whole jalapeno, seeded and minced fine
2 cornish game hens

Directions:

I like to put everything but the hens in a blender, and whiz everything up (wash hands after handling jalapeno) . Put the hens in a nonreactive container just big enough to hold them. Pour the marinade over the hens, turn them once or twice to make sure that the hens are coated, and make sure some marinade gets inside the body cavities. Stick the whole thing in the fridge for at least  3 or 4 hours, and all day won't hurt a bit.

A couple of hours before dinnertime, get the grill going. Smoke according to the directions for indirect cooking, basting  every 30 minutes or so with the marinade, for about  2 ½ hours until their leg joints move freely. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat ( but not touching the bone) should register 180F-185F (85C). Remove the birds from the grill and allow them to sit for 5-10 minutes before carving.

While those birds are resting, bring the marinade to a boil, and boil it hard for at least 3 to 4 minutes. Thicken it a little with your guar or xanthan shaker, if you like, and serve as a sauce with the hens.

Here's what our members are saying ...


"My wife recently gave me a couple of The Grilling Coach's DVDs - SOUTHERN, SMOKED, GLAZED HAM on the GRILL and REAL SOUTHERN BARBEQUE.  All the recipes are, in a word, outstanding!  The step-by-step instructions are skillfully explained at a pace that's easy to follow and understand.  I've been smoke cooking and making my own sausage for almost 40 years; and, I know my way around the kitchen.  Believe me when I tell you - you'll love these DVDs."

"Before we watched your videos, grilling was a chore for us.  But after watching your videos, grilling takes so little effort and now we grill often as we can.  The food always taste better and is better for us.  I just wanted to thank you for making us comfortable with grilling and opening an entire world of possibilities."

"We just purchased a new gas grill and your videos made it so easy to prepare our dinners on.  The monthly fee is great for so much information and training."
