Crispy Game Hens on the SRG
« Reply #-1 on: October 21, 2014, 06:17:14 PM »
I brined a couple of game hens in Oakridge BBQ Game Changer for about 5 hours.  They were rinsed off,
dried and then given a light coat of Hellman’s Mayo with Olive Oil.  I then seasoned them with Magic. 
The sweet taters were coated with garlic EVOO and then seasoned with Little Louies.


I heated the SRG on high with cherry pellets.  The hens and taters ready to go into the fire.


Hens are done!  Crispier than I like but my wife (who must be related to another member’s wife on here  ;))
loves her blackened chicken skin.


Taters are almost done so I added a couple ears of corn to the mix.


Here’s my plate!


Skin may have been real dark but it was good! The birds were definitely juicy and tender.  Sweet taters
were awesome especially after adding a little Penzeys cinnamon sugar to the mix.

Oooh Mike, that skin looks perfect to me, and I love the mahogany color from the cherry smoke.   I'll take some and a baked potato too please.
