Deep-Fried Cornish Hen with Southern Spice Crust
Servings: 1 whole Cornish hen Prep Time: 20 minutes Cook Time: 15–18 minutes Equipment: 3-quart deep sauce pot, NuWave induction cooktop, deep-fry thermometer, tongs or spider strainer
Ingredients
• 1 whole Cornish hen (1–1.5 lbs), thawed and patted dry
• 2 large eggs
• 1½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tbsp Chef Paul Prudhomme Poultry Magic seasoning
• 1 tsp Slap Ya Mama Cajun seasoning
• New Greek no salt seasoning
• 1 tsp no-salt rotisserie seasoning
• Canola oil (approx. 6 cups or 1.5 quarts, enough to fill pot halfway)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Hen
• Rinse and thoroughly pat dry the Cornish hen with paper towels.
• Optionally, split the hen down the backbone for quicker frying and easier handling.
2. Season the Flour
• In a large bowl, combine flour with:
o 1 tbsp Poultry Magic
o 1 tsp Slap Ya Mama
o 1 tsp rotisserie seasoning
• Mix well to distribute spices evenly.
3. Egg Wash
• In a separate bowl, beat the 2 eggs until smooth.
4. Bread the Hen
• Dredge the hen in the seasoned flour.
• Dip into the egg wash, coating completely.
• Return to the flour mixture and coat thoroughly for a double-crust effect.
5. Preheat the Oil
• Pour canola oil into your 3-quart pot until halfway full (about 6 cups).
• Set NuWave induction cooktop to 350°F (175°C).
• Preheat for 10–15 minutes, checking with a deep-fry thermometer.
6. Fry the Hen
• Carefully lower the hen into the hot oil using tongs or a spider strainer.
• Fry for 15–18 minutes, turning occasionally for even browning.
• Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C) at the thickest part.
7. Drain and Rest
• Remove hen and place on a wire rack or paper towels.
• Let rest for 5 minutes before serving to retain juices
