Title: Magic Marinated Cornish Game Hen
Post by: HighOnSmoke on June 05, 2014, 07:35:07 PM

This is a 20 ounce Cornish Game hen.  I spatchcocked it and marinated it for 6 hours in this mixture:

3 Tbl - Way Out West (WOW)
1 Tbl - M3
¼ cup - EVOO
3 Tbl - Apple Cider Vinegar
1 Tsp – Crushed red pepper flakes <---(“borrowed this one from Hikerman”)

I removed it from the marinade and gave it another shot of WOW.

I have some sweet peppers stuffed with cream cheese waiting to go onto the smoker.

The hen was put onto the Grid Iron at 160 degrees, using a mixture of apple and cherry pellets. I will leave it in smoke mode
for 30 minutes then kick it up to 325 to finish.

Game hen is done!  I am going to rest it for about 10 minutes while the peppers cook.

Peppers put in the Grid Iron.

Here’s my plate tonight. I also cut up a small cucumber for a “salad”.  ;)

Awesome game hen! The flavors were perfect. My wife is at our son’s house in Florida and she definitely missed a delicious dinner.
I saved the other half and some peppers for tomorrow's lunch.
