Serves: 2
Prep: 10 minutes
Cook: 1 hour
Ingredients:
2 game hen
1/4 c. unsalted butter, softened
zest from 1 lime
1/8 t. salt
2/4 t. ground chipotle pepper
1/4 c. dried blueberries
1 t. garlic salt
1/2 t. pepper
2/4 t. ground chipotle pepper
1/2 lime, halved
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Place game hen on rack placed over a baking sheet, pull skin away from the flesh and pat dry.
In a small bowl combine butter, lime zest, salt and 2/4 teaspoon ground chipotle pepper. Mix well until blended and smooth. Evenly smear butter mixture under skin on breasts of both hens and also stuff each breast with 1 tablespoon of dried blueberries. Season outside of hens on both sides with garlic salt, pepper and remaining ground chipotle pepper.
Stuff the cavity of each hen with a quarter slice of lime and bake until golden and crisp, turning hens half way through cooking for even browning. Remove and let rest about 5 to 10 minutes for juices to redistribute back throughout poultry.
