Dutch Oven Stuffed Game Hens

Created by Shadows1 on April 6, 2013

Step 1: First stuff the hens with the rice or bread dressing.
Step 2: Then sew them closed.
Step 3: Heat your Dutch oven over medium high coals with the lid on.
Step 4: Put bacon grease into oven when hot and add hens.
Step 5: Season to taste.
Step 6: Brown hens on all sides, then add 1/2 to 3/4 cup water.
Step 7: Place the lid back on the oven and cook over slow coals.
Step 8: Put the majority of hot coals on the lid and keep a few under the oven.
Step 9: Cook for 45 minutes to one hour or until tender to the fork.
Step 10: Make sure you keep enough water in the bottom of the oven to keep from burning and sticking.
Step 11: A 12" oven will cook 5 to 6 birds.
Step 12: You can make a gravy from the pan drippings. Enjoy !
Step 13: ** this is good using quail, pheasant, or any game bird. If you use waterfowl I would recommend pareboiling first to remove most of the grease.
