Dee Posted November 30, 2002 Share Posted November 30, 2002 Hens In The Pot! Dutch oven, or heavy cast pot with lid Rock Cornish Game Hens (you can also use a fryer) 2 Cans Chicken Broth Water Salt/Pepper/favorite seasonings Potatoes Carrots Oil Onion Directions: Build a hot fire in your fire ring, coals and wood together are best for even heat. Sink pot (cast type) into hot coals, no flames! Put a small mound of oil in pot, coating the hens also. Season and brown hens on two sides, and sliced onions at the same time. Brown lightly, then carefully add the 2 cans of broth and a can of water. Add the potatoes (quartered & peeled) and carrots (peeled and cut thick). Cover for 20 minutes, check for doneness. You can thicken the gravy if you would like, but it's best natural! Hens cook fast, so 30 minutes and their done. If you feel it's cooking too fast, move some of the coals away, remember the pot will be very hot and heavy. (you can make it in your oven at home, too!) ------------------ Quote Link to comment
