      Title: FLAMING SHERRIED ROCK CORNISH GAME HENS
 Categories: Poultry
      Yield: 2 Servings
 
      2    Rock Cornish Game Hens, defr
      4 tb Butter
    1/4 c  Sherry
    1/4 c  Brandy
 
     Remove giblets from defrosted birds and discard.
     Melt the butter in a heavy skillet with heat-proof handle. Season
  hens with salt and pepper, then brown lightly all over in the butter,
  turning frequently. This should take about 20 minutes. When hens are
  browned, add sherry to the pan and transfer it to the oven.
     Roast birds 45-60 minutes, until they are tender, basting often.
     Transfer hens to heated (and heatproof) serving dish. Warm brandy
  in a small saucepan and ignite it. Pour over the hens and serve
  flaming.

     If you cannot get Rock Cornish hens, use squab, poussin (very young
  chicken) or quail. These birds cook more quickly, so adjust the
  roasting time accordingly.
