Hoisin-Glazed Cornish Hen - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 cup hoisin sauce
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup chopped scallion
crushed red pepper flakes, to taste
1 Cornish hen
vegetable oil, for deep frying

Preparation

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!
