- 1 teaspoon vinegar (any type)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cornish game hens, about 1 1/2 pounds each
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- For the glaze, cook pineapple juice over medium heat until it has reduced to 2 tablespoons.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons olive oil and curry powder and cook for 1 minute more.
- Take off heat and stir in vinegar.
- Preheat the broiler.
- Cut the hens in half, using either a cleaver or poultry shears, cutting around and discarding the backbones.
- Use the palm of your hand to flatten the halves slightly.
- Brush hens with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Place the hen halves, skin side down, on a broiler pan and broil for about 5 inches from the heat source for 10 minutes.
- Brush the hens with the glaze.
- Turn skin side up and broil for 5 minutes.
- Brush liberally with glaze and continue to broil for about 5 minutes longer, until the thigh meat juices run clear when pierced with a knife and the skin is nicely browned.
