Time 34m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (1 1/2-pound) Cornish hens
Vegetable oil, for frying
1/2 cup hoisin
1/4 cup honey
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 cup scallions, sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a very deep pot, bring enough oil to fill the pot by 2/3 of the way. Heat the oil to 350 degrees F.
  • Add the hen slowly to the oil and fry for 8 to 10 minutes on each side until golden brown and have reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
  • Remove the hen from the oil and drain on a paper towel.
  • Whisk together in a large bowl, the hoisin, honey, red pepper flakes, and the scallions. Brush mixture over the cooked hen on both sides and reserve the extra sauce for dipping.
  • Place in oven for about 7 minutes. Take out. Flip over and brush reserved hoisin sauce on flipped side. Place in oven for another 7 minutes.
