A couple of 2.5 pound game hens, one seasoned with Mo Rockin and the other with Tony Chachere’s
Original Cajun. Put back into the refrigerator to marinate in the rub for the next few hours.
I have cooked plenty of chicken in the black iron skillet but never game hens, so since it was
raining today I decided to use the Weber Performer and cook them in the skillet. I put some
garlic and onion in the pan with the hens. Garlic and onion were seasoned with W.O.W.
Put onto the Performer, using Stubbs charcoal and a couple of small chunks of pecan.
I did mention it was raining, right?
Pot of Bush Smokehouse Tradition beans topped with some cooked bacon getting ready to hit the grill.
Beans joining the hens on the grill.
Hens and beans are done. 1.5 hours at 300 to get the hens to 165 internal.
Plated with some leftover potato salad.
Delicious Sunday dinner. The garlic did not overpower the hens as I thought it would. Anyway will be
slowing down on my cooking this next week since I got a call late last night to come back to work. I
guess they finally figured our positions were essential!
It gets dark way too early anymore, you
would think winter was upon us!
Thanks for looking!
