Cooking time:
1 hour
Ingredients:
•
1 tablespoon brown sugar
•
1 teaspoon ground cumin
•
1 teaspoon ground coriander
•
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
•
1 teaspoon ground ginger
•
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
•
½ teaspoon garlic powder
•
½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
•
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
•
2 (1 to 11/4-pound) Cornish game hens
•
Lime wedges
Directions:
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, cumin, coriander, paprika, ginger, salt, garlic powder, pepper
and cinnamon. Rub the hens with the spice mixture. Remove the lock screws on the Drive end of the
Chicken Roaster with Handle. Slide the hens onto the Spit, centering the hens in the middle of the Spit.
Tie the legs together with kitchen string and once around the wings.
Add 2-3 tablespoons of water to the Crumb & Drip Tray and slide back into place. Place the loaded Chicken
Roaster with Handle into the Oven chamber with the square tip end toward the Drive Port, resting the
handle on the Handle Port. Press down into place until it locks securely. Close the Glass Door. Set the
Temperature to 225°C and the Timer to 1 hour. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the
thickest part of the thigh, not touching the Spit, registers 74°C. Place the hens on the Rack over a cutting
board and let it stand 5 minutes. Remove the Spit and cut off the kitchen string. Serve the hens with lime
wedges.
