Split...

Then into the steamer for 20 minutes...

Unsalted butter, minced garlic, and Big Poppa's Desert Gold Seasoning...

Melt in the nuclear infuser(microwave)...

Then brush the Artichokes on all sides with the butter...

Fired up the Memphis with the grill zone insert. Time for the Artichokes to get grilled for a few minutes...

After a 150F reading in the backside of the hens with my Thermapen I pulled them off the heat...

Nice job! Stuffed Cornish hens used to be my go-to date dinner when I was in college. But I served it with asparagus & Hollandaise.

Nice job on the chokes too!
