Honey Dijon Cornish Hens Or Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• In a small bowl, add the honey, mustard, 1 tablespoon of oil and salt and pepper, to taste. Mix well and put the mixture into a large plastic resealable bag. Add the chicken, seal the bag and shake to incorporate. Refrigerate at least 2 hours.
• Preheat the grill to medium heat.
• Remove the chicken from the bag and arrange it on a well-oiled grill. Cook until a nice crust forms on both sides, about 4 to 5 minutes per side. Let the chicken rest on a serving platter for 10 minutes before serving. Serve with lime wedges.

Steps:

• Place chicken in an ungreased 11x7-in. baking dish. Combine remaining ingredients; pour over chicken. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until juices run clear, turning and basting with pan juices every 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Place flour in a shallow dish. Mix honey and Dijon mustard in another shallow dish. Place bread crumbs in a third shallow dish.
• Season chicken tenders with salt and pepper. Coat with flour then dip into honey-mustard mixture, and finally into the bread crumbs, pressing bread crumbs into chicken.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet. Cook chicken until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Carefully turn tenders over, add remaining 1 tablespoon butter, and cook until chicken is fully cooked and golden brown, an additional 2 to 3 minutes.

Steps:

• Place cornish hens or chicken pieces on rack in roasting pan.
• Bake at 350ºF for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in small bowl, blend mustard, honey, lemon juice, onion and rosemary.
• Use 1/3 cup mustard mixture to brush over hens or chicken.
• Bake for 30 to 40 minutes more or until done.
• In small saucepan, blend remaining mustard mixture, chicken broth and cornstarch.
• Cook over medium heat until mixture thickens and begins to boil.
• Add lemon slices; cook for 1 minute.
• Keep warm.
• Serve hens or chicken with rice and heated mustard sauce. Garnish as desired.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Place the sliced onion in the bottom of a roasting pan. Remove the giblets from the hens, and rinse them inside and out. Remove any excess fat and leftover pinfeathers and pat the outsides dry. Place the hens on top of the sliced onion.
• Pack the cavities of the hens with the cornbread stuffing.
• Tie the legs together with kitchen string and tuck the wing tips under the body of the hens. Rub the hens with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Roast the hens for 30 minutes, or until the juices run clear when you cut between a leg and thigh.
• Melt the butter in a large saute pan. Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes over medium-low heat, until translucent. Break the cornbread into pieces and place the pieces in a large bowl. Add the onion mixture to the cornbread. Add the celery, chicken stock, parsley, salt and pepper, and mix together.
• Yield: 2 servings

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Lightly spray the bottom and sides of a 10-inch casserole dish (or any baking pan large enough to hold the chicken breasts). Place the chicken breasts in the coated baking pan.
• With a wooden spoon, mix the mustard, honey, apricot preserves, and ginger in a small mixing bowl until well blended. Brush (or spoon) the mustard mixture over the tops of the chicken breasts. Bake the chicken, uncovered, for 30-45 minutes (depending on thickness of the breasts).
• After 15 minutes of baking turn over each chicken breast, spoon sauce over them, and continue baking for the remaining 15 minutes, or until breasts are thoroughly cooked.
• Transfer the chicken breasts to individual plates. Spoon the sauce over each chicken breast serving.
• (For my kids, I like to put their portion of the sauce into a small condiment cup so they can use it as a dipping sauce. What can I say -- it's a kid thing.).

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place game hen halves with skin sides up into a 9x13-inch roasting pan.
• Roast hens in the preheated oven for 35 minutes.
• Stir orange juice, honey, soy sauce, and vinegar together in a small bowl; brush mixture over hens.
• Roast hens for 5 more minutes and baste again with orange juice mixture. Roast until skin is browned and meat is no longer pink inside, about 10 more minutes.

Steps:

• 1. Thoroughly wash Cornish game hens. Combine the rest of the ingredients. Place the clean hens in a extra large Ziploc storage bag and pour combined ingredients over the hens. Seal bag and gently massage the bag to ensure that the marinade is well distrubed. Place the bag in a 9 x 13 in pan and place in the refridgerator for 12 - 24 hours. Occasionally turn the bag during the marinading time.
• 2. Turn marinated cornish hens onto a very large rimmed cookie sheet. For easier clean up you may line the cookie sheet with parchment paper. Evenly arrange the hens. Place in a preheated 400 degree oven for 15 minutes. Then turn down the oven to 350 degrees. Continue to roast the hens for approximately l hour.
• 3. Glaze the roasted hens with the following: 1/3 c. liquid honey 1/4 c. melted margarine/butter 1/3 c. dijon mustard Combine all the above very well and spread on top of the roasted hens. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast for another 10 - 15 minutes.
• 4. Cover the roasted cornish hens with aluminum foil and allow to rest for 10 min. Arrange on serving platter. You make tuck around the hens sprigs of curley parsley and thin lemon wedges. Enjoy!
