How to Make Rock Cornish Game Hens With Pineapple Stuffing For Grill Or Oven
- Rinse 2 Rock Cornish game hens and pat them completely dry. Remove any giblets.
- Season the hens generously inside and out with salt and pepper.
- In a bowl, combine 1 cup of pineapple chunks, 1 teaspoon curry powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix well.
- Stuff the hens loosely with the pineapple curry mixture.
- Truss the hens by tying the legs together with kitchen twine. Tuck the wings behind the back.
- **For Grilling:** Preheat grill to medium heat. Balance hens on a rotisserie spit, securing with holding forks. Grill for 45-60 minutes, basting every 15 minutes with a mixture of 2 tablespoons melted butter and 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
- **For Baking:** Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Place hens on a rack in a roasting pan. Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 165°F (74°C). Baste every 20 minutes with the butter/lemon mixture. Cover loosely with foil if the hens brown too quickly.
- Let the hens rest for 10 minutes before carving and serving with your favorite sides.
