Add a photoMake sure you get very high quality game hens from your butcher for this dish. Serve with my Fried Brussels Sprouts and some pasta on the side.
Ingredients
- 2 game hens or poussin, liberally salted for at least 24 hours
- Salsa Verde:
- 3 bunches parsely, roughly destemmed
- 3oz capers (volume)
- 2 cloves garlic
- 3oz fine breadcrumbs (volume)
- 24oz olive oil
- Salt, TT
Directions
- Deep fry chickens @ 375 for 12 minutes. Serve with salsa verde and lemon wedges.
- In a blender, blend the garlic and capers with half of the olive oil until smooth. Pour mixture into a bowl. Blend the parsley with the other half of the oil, quickly, to avoid oxidation. Combine both mixtures with the breadcrumbs in the bowl. Salt to taste.

Awesome!!! I fried in olive oil and would recommend that for others. You can reduce the quite a bit the amounts on the Salsa Verde - didn't need this much sauce for just two hens. I would suggest dividing by 2...I've cooked/tasted this recipe!This is a variation
