Ingredients

  • 1 (3/4 lb) Cornish hens or (3 -4 lb) roasting chickens
  • 3/8 - 1/2 cup cajun butter injectable marinade (1 oz or pound of poultry) or 3/8-1/2 cup creole garlic injectable marinade
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons bayou magic sausage seasoning or 3 tablespoons tony chachere's creole seasoning
  • 2 teaspoons paul prudhomme's poultry seasoning (Poultry Magic)
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika

Method

  • Preheat oven to 325°F.
  • Inject the breasts of the hens with the injection sauce (contamination prevention - always pour a portion for the current use into a separate container so that the injector needle never touches marinade that will go back into the refrigerator after it has touched raw poultry).
  • Coat the inside of each hen with Bayou Magic sausage mix (this ingredient can be a bit hard to come by outside of South LA, but worth the search for those who like things spicy; great on other wild game as well).
  • Sprinkle each hen with poultry magic, then sprinkle with paprika for color.
  • Bake until fully cooked: 50-60 minutes (about 20 minutes per pound).
