UNLV Graduate Cooks For MORE

Between seeking the best "Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives" and creating his weekly "Big Bite," celebrity chef Guy Fieri can create a great menu easily for any table.

Now, the UNLV graduate has come to MORE to create a great Cornish game hen dish with some tasty coleslaw. Both recipes are courtesy of Fieri.

Brick In The Wall Hens With Salsa Verde

Ingredients:
  • 3 Cornish game hens, washed and dried
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon white pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried sweet basil
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Salsa Verde, recipe follows

Preparation:
  • Special equipment: 4 bricks covered in aluminum foil, large cast iron skillet
  1. Remove the backbone of the hens. Split the breast plate and press down on the chicken in all joints to flatten it.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the rosemary, white pepper, paprika, salt, garlic, oregano, and basil. Rub the mixture all over the hens—under the skin, on top of the skin, and the inside cavity.
  3. Heat a large sauté pan over medium high heat with oil, and place hens cavity side down. Place another large sauté pan on top of the hens, and place 4 bricks inside of the top pan.
  4. Cook on medium high heat, for 7 to 10 minutes on both sides, or until the internal temperature of the meat reaches 165 degrees F.
  5. Remove hens to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes before serving. Serve with Salsa Verde.
