Hoisin Glazed Cornish Hen

Asian influenced flavor. Another recipe from big daddy's house on the food network. Everything he makes looks so delicious! I can't wait to try this! on the show, he only prepared one cornish hen, so adjust your times accordingly for multiple hens. Cooking time includes deep-frying and baking time.

Steps

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 !.
