Cornish Game Hens
These little birds have always disappointed me. I look at their
convenient, even cute, size and I think gee, I ought to be able to do
something special with these. So far, nothing has worked. I mean,
yeah, they're always edible and okay, but the skin has never been
delectable, the flavors -- and I've tried subtle and bold -- never make
you sit up and take notice. The summary of about a dozen different
efforts over some years is, frankly, blah.
Tonight I did them on the grill, they having been on sale for less than
$1 each last week. Whole, not split. Some smoke, some chiles in the
marinade. They were blah.
Someone must have better ideas -- ? -aem
