Hoisin-Glazed Cornish Hen
- 1/2 cup hoisin sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup chopped scallion
- crushed red pepper flakes, to taste
- 1 Cornish hen
- vegetable oil, for deep frying
- Pre-heat oil in a pot large enough to fit a Cornish hen comfortably, to about 350 degrees.
- Thoroughly wash and pat Cornish hen dry to avoid unnecessary spatter, and carefully ease into hot oil.
- Cook for 8-10 minutes on each side until you see that it is turning slightly golden brown around the edges and crispy.
- Remove and place on cooling rack.
- In a small bowl, prepare glaze by mixing together first 4 ingredients, adding red pepper flakes to your heat preference. Baste entire hen liberally with the glaze.
- Pop in pre-heated oven at 350 degrees for about 8 minutes or until it gets crispy.
- Flip over, and re-baste bottom of hen, and put back in oven for another 8 minutes to crisp up the other side.
- Let rest before serving. You can cut into quarters for 2 servings, or serve whole.
- Serve alongside steamed veggies and/or Jasmine rice for a complete meal!
