Recipe information

Make Fried Game Hen in just 1h . cashews, broccolini, black vinegar honey glaze

Preparing the Game Hen

1. Season the Hens

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat the Cornish game hens dry with paper towels and season the inside and outside with salt and black pepper.

2. Sear the Hens

In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the game hens, breast side down, and sear for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Flip and sear the other side for another 5 minutes.

3. Add Garlic

Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

4. Bake

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the hens are cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Making the Glaze

5. Combine Glaze Ingredients

In a small bowl, whisk together black vinegar, honey, and soy sauce until well combined.

Cooking the Broccolini

6. Prepare Broccolini

While the hens are baking, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccolini and blanch for 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.

7. Toss with Cashews

In a small pan, lightly toast the cashews over medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Add the blanched broccolini and toss with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste.

Finishing Touches

8. Glaze the Hens

Once the game hens are done baking, remove them from the oven and brush the black vinegar honey glaze over the hens.

9. Serve

Plate the game hens with the broccolini and cashews on the side. Drizzle any remaining glaze over the dish if desired.
