Photo: Hoisin-Glazed Cornish Hen Recipe
Ingredients
- 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
Directions
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.

I really enjoyed this recipe. I am going to cook this again real soon. I cooked it as directed the first time and then I tried something else. I tried red plum jelly instead of honey and it was very delicious. This recipe is a keeper. thanks for everything.

This was off the chain I fried two cornish hen last night and my family ate it all. We had never even heard of any one frying a cornish hen but I tell you no lie we will eat this again. And this Hoisin glaze was off the chain. Thank you for giving us new ways of fixing food that we already love. In my culture its hard to get people to try different foods but being that you are a man of color makes it easy I just tell my husband Aaron cook it on his show and said it was good. Thanks for sharing with us. Janelle out of Louisiana.
