Ingredients
- 5 Cornish game Hens
- 15 sprigs Fresh Thyme
- 2 Oranges, cut into quarters
- 2 Tbsp. Onion Powder
- 1 Tbsp. Granulated Garlic
- 1 Tbsp. Jacobsen Salt
- 1 Tbsp. Ground Ginger
- 2 Tbsp. Olive Oil
- 1 bottle Traeger Mandarin Glaze
- 5 Cornish game Hens
- 15 sprigs Fresh Thyme
- 2 Oranges, cut into quarters
- 2 Tbsp. Onion Powder
- 1 Tbsp. Granulated Garlic
- 1 Tbsp. Jacobsen Salt
- 1 Tbsp. Ground Ginger
- 2 Tbsp. Olive Oil
- 1 bottle Traeger Mandarin Glaze
Preparation
When ready to cook, start the Traeger on smoke with the lid open until the fire is established (4 to 5 minutes). Set the temperature to 375 degrees F and preheat lid closed, for 10 to 15 minutes.
Combine onion powder, granulated garlic, Jacobson’s salt, and ground ginger. Remove the Hens from the packaging; remove any giblets from each cavity and pat them dry with a paper towel. Place 4-5 sprigs of fresh thyme into each cavity, along with 1 orange wedge.
Sprinkle each bird with the spice mixture, and then rub with olive oil. Tie the legs together with butchers twine. Place the Game hens on the grill and cook for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, brush each hen with Mandarin glaze. Let them cook an additional 20 minutes and brush again with the glaze. Cook to an internal temperature of 160 degrees. Enjoy!
