I finally got around to cooking some Cornish Game Hens on the PG1000. I brined and rubbed them with the same recipe I used in WIfe Says NO BARBEQUE THIS WEEKEND. Hens went in the brine for about 2 hours, they then were rinsed and dried uncovered in the refrigerator for about 2 hours. I then cooked them on the PG1000 at 225 degrees for about 30 minutes then increased the temp to 350 degrees until the breast was about 165 degrees and the thighs were around 175 degrees. I also basted them every 30 minutes with some Parkay.
They had a nice garlic herb flavor with a mild smoke flavor. Definitely will be cooking these again.
Cleaned and headed to the brine
Rubbed with the wet rub
After about 1 1/2 hours on the PG1000
Finished
Served up with Kelli's Roasted Broccoli, and Potatoes Au Gratin from The Pioneer Woman Cooks
Jeff, those birds look great. I haven't done any for a long time. I'll have to try your method. Smokin Don
ReplyDeleteThanks! TNQ's brine and herb rub is pretty great on chicken. A nice break from traditional "BBQ" flavors.
