Since the day we got the new Masterbuilt smoker earlier this year, we've become obsessed trying different recipes smoking a variety kinds of meat O(∩_∩)O~ I did a smoked Cornish hen this time with a little bit of Asian twist in it. It turns out gorgeous and quite tasty. It might just be our new favorite!
Ingredients:
1 Cornish hen
1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
1 to 2 tablespoons rice cooking wine
1 to 2 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
1 to 2 tablespoon sugar
3 tablespoon soy sauce
2 cups of water
salt to taste
Directions:
Add ground white pepper, rice cooking wine, sugar, soy sauce and salt to a medium bowl. Whisk while slowly adding water to the bowl.
Add Cornish hen. Massage for a few seconds. Cover with plastic wrap.
Refrigerate overnight. Flip the hen once or twice in between to marinate more evenly.
Preheat the smoker to 225 F/107 C
Add Cornish hen. Smoke for about 3 hours or until it is golden brown.
I have to tell you this is one of most beautiful smoked chickens I have ever seen O(∩_∩)O~
A duck has been smoked before adding the Cornish hen to smoker. Here is how to smoke a duck with sea salt and Sichuan peppercorns.
