Rock Cornish Game Hens With Pineapple Stuffing for Grill or Oven image

We love spit-grilling these little guys but also enjoy them baked! We usually serve them with rice pilaf or stir fried rice and green beans.

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 rock cornish game hens, thawed
1 (16 ounce) can pineapple chunks, drained
curry powder
salt and pepper
1/2 cup melted butter
2 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice

Steps:

  • Rinse hens and pat dry, removing innards; lightly salt and pepper inside and out.
  • Sprinkle pineapple chunks lightly with curry powder and stuff hens.
  • Truss hens and close cavity. Tie wings to body and legs to tail.
  • GRILL: Balance on spit and secure with holding forks. Grill over medium coals or on rotisserie in gas grill set at medium for 45 minutes to 1 hour, basting occasionally with melted butter mixed with lemon juice.
  • OR BAKE: Place bird on rack and bake in 325 dg oven for one hour or until tender, covering with foil if becoming too brown. Baste occasionally with butter/lemon mixture.
  • I have been told internal temperature should reach 160 dg., but have not tried this method.
