I had nothing to do with this delicious spread. It was all the loving labor of @kimviescas. Just the three of us, so keeping things modest. #Thanksgiving #cornishgamehens #wildrice #baconbrusselssprouts #ChillingAtHome #RainyDay #PajamaDay https://www.instagram.com/p/BqgetbEnt2u/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=j7hccnutpwun

Some days it all just works out. We stopped by this old school setup in a parking lot of a stone and paver store in West Little Rock today and found some real deal barbecue. Here’s a few teases, but hit up the blog at WooPigFoodie for the full review. , . , #bbq #barbecue #oldschool #ribs #smokedchicken #smoked #cornishgamehens #smokedturkeylegs #smokedsausage #pulledpork #choppedbeef #brisket #smoker (at HAWKS BBQ)
Smoked Cornish Game Hens FTW!!
This weekend we added Cornish Game Hens to the list of meats smoked this year. The process was fun and the end result was absolutely delicious!
We bought 4 Tyson Cornish Game Hens and the evening before the smoke was to take place we made a brine consisting of the following:
Brine Ingredients: - Water - Fill large pot - Brown Sugar - 1/2 cup - Salt - 1/2 cup - Peppercorn - 1 tablespoon - Bay Leaves - 6 Bay Leaves - Thyme - 6 Sprigs
Bring to a boil stirring on occasion. Once the brine is boiling take off of the burner an allow time to cool. During this time, you will need to take 2 small aluminum pans and 2 turkey bags and put the game hens in them so that once the brine has cooled you can poor 1/2 of the pot into each bag. Once you have poured the brine into the bags, squeeze as much air out of them as you can in order to get as much of the birds submerged before tying on the bag tie. Once the bags are tied up, put the pans with the bagged birds in the fridge overnight.
The following morning, take the birds out of the brine and rinse them off. After they are rinsed off, pay dry and put back in the fridge to dry out for the next 2 hours. This will allow the skin to stay crunchy throughout the process.
When the drying process was done we stuffed the birds with some fresh thyme, lemon and orange wedges before applying some poultry rub. We used the American Royal Chicken Rub and it had a great flavor! For the adhering agent we used some bacon grease from some bacon we made at Breakfast (oh yea, it was awesome!)
Once this was done we garnished the hens with minced garlic, fresh thyme, oranges, lemons and apples.
The time had come to smoke the birds. We cranked up the smoker to 225 and put the birds into the smoke for 3 hours. For this smoke, we used cherry wood chips and soaked it in water for 2 hours prior to adding to the smoker. This provided a longer lasting more subtle smoke that was constantly applied to the birds as they cooked.
Once the birds were done, we removed them from the smoker and placed on the plates. Complimented them with bread & butter, mashed potatoes and broccoli as well as some ribs we will highlight in a future post. These little hens were perfect and the flavors of citrus mixed with the savory notes of the rub and bacon residuals was something words can’t properly describe.
Overall, we were very happy with how these birds turned out. We recommend you try them as well and let us know what you thought!
