Инструкции
- Thaw hens, if frzn.
- Spray a grill rack set 4 inches from the heat source with nonstick cooking spray. Heat the grill to medium.
- Split hens and remove backbone with kitchen shears. Place the hens in a large plastic food bag. Combine the orange juice, vinegar, oil, garlic, rosemary, shallot, zest, soy sauce, 1/2 tsp. of salt, red pepper flakes and pepper in a small bowl. Pour the marinade over the hens. Turn the bag around several times till the hens are proportionately coated with the marinade. Marinate 4 to 6 hrs, refrigerated, turning the bag occasionally. Bring the hens to room temperature 30 min before grilling.
- Remove the hens from the marinade; throw away the marinade. Lightly sprinkle the hens with salt and pepper.
- Place the hens skin-side down on the rack. Grill, turning with tongs 3 to 4 times, till the meat is fully opaque (insert a knife in the joint between the breast and thigh to check; there should be no redness), and the skin is brown and crispy. This should take about 40 min. Mix orange marmalade with soy sauce for a glaze. Brush each side of the hens with the glaze on the last turn.
- Transfer them to a platter. Brush the tops with the glaze again. Arrange the Hot Spinach Salad on a platter. Place the hens attractively on top. Garnish the platter with the orange slices and rosemary sprigs. Serve immediately. Alternately, serve the hens and salad on separate platters; this way, the hens can be served hot or possibly at room temperature.
- This recipe yields 4 to 6 servings.
