Teriyaki Cornish Hens

10 Mins

4 Servings

Ingredients

2 , thawed

1 cup Kikkoman® teriyaki sauce

1 cup white wine

1/2 cup fresh lemon juice

2 teaspoons Kikkoman® sriracha sauce

1/2 cup green onion, sliced

Soaking Cornish hens in this Asian-inspired marinade for a day infuses them with the complex flavors of teriyaki, sriracha, white wine and lemon juice.

Directions

1. Make marinade by combining teriyaki sauce, white wine, lemon juice, sriracha sauce and green onions. Cut each hen down the backbone and spread flat. Add hens to bowl or large storage bag and add marinade; refrigerate overnight.

2. Preheat outdoor grill to a medium-low heat.

3. Remove hens from marinade and reserve 1/4 cup of liquid. Place hens on grill, skin-side down. Cover and grill for 25-30 minutes. Turn hens and baste with sauce. Cover and grill for additional 25-30 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 180°F.
