Great video and humor. Thanks for sharing. My Cornish hen was super moist with your method.
Why u gotta dis on Co the whole time dick
Thanks for the post…what seems like an eternity ago, I did something similar to this in my old Luhr Jenson Little Chief, using their recipe book and it came out fantastic. Just put 4 little birds in for their morning swim before their afternoon sauna…..only variations I made on the brine this morning was i used 2 frozen apple juice concentrate cans (effectively bringing the apple juice volume to 96 ounces and negating the need for ice cubes) and skipped the cinnamon sticks while adding just some basic poultry seasoning mix to the brine… As to "420" that ship sailed for me AND all my neighbors years ago so I'll just stick to the hardwood smoke now…lol
Hff
Love me some Cornish birds
i prefer to use hot ice for a
Love me some bird

Jesus Christ, Shut the fuck up about the Colorado shit already !
420 I'm hungry
How much brown sugar, how much apple juice…. never mind, you are high as f
The quality of this grill is very stunning.>>>t.co/qmDQimjxZs And the installation is easy and fast. We host a BBQ party with our friends and family, this grill brings lots of fun. I recommend Great purchase.
Great job sir. I will be trying this soon.
Dude I’m in boulder I use an electric smoker, whadda doing carving a bird like that at the end what do you think this is china!
You're The Man! Larry! All my family and friends look to me for Great BBQ! and I owe it all to you, been a fan since 1987 keep on teaching your trade, you have made me the BBQ envy of family and friends, I just tell them to follow the wolfepit.com and buy a Rec Tec Grill! no more needs to be said! Your the Greatist! if you would like the same follow Larry on https://www.patreon.com/TheWolfePit I know he would appreciate it!
Can I brine the birds overnight
You cant carve because of your neighbor,,, not the smoke in Colorado. looks great.
haha all that smoke in Colorado 😀
Haha! Love your little weed comments wolf! Cheers from Denver, Colorado, smoking meats and pot.
You need a sharp knife so you won't have to use so much downward force when you attempt to slice ….let the knife do the work. Great video ! Thanks for sharing !!
?oneless ?icken
Colorado! ha.
Look Good!!!
Loved the video as always. There used to be a grocery store in Idependence MO that had a small (cannot call it deli) It was more like a the hot food section of the school lunchroom. That sold these in BBQ sauce and i have eaten many of them from there when I was growing up. For whatever reason I have never cooked them, I am inspired to buy, brine (become a big fan of the brine) some and smoke them, so thank you sooo much!
As to your fib about the hens being better than the smoke on CO: the chicken is totally better after even a light smoke. If you grew your own smoking substance, you could soak some and smoke your bird. Just remember who told you this.
i will gut you like a cornish game hen
hey man, can i buy your neighbor a gift?
Hey WolfePit, do you have a good brine for fish?
will definitely try this!!! keep up the great work!
Looks good but I would add some seasoning all over, while putting sliced onions garlic and papers in the inside.
Did you know that my name associates with weed?
These look REALLY good!
I'm becoming a better cook by watching these vids XD
"Cold" ice is like left "rear" taillight or right "front " headlight…..trust me I have seen this in print. Anyway these are also great smoked with hickory on a little or big chief smoker (remember those…they were great then and still are for a lot of stuff) and cooked how you like them. Game hens are unbelievably good and one of my favorites. I have never brined them ,but I think I will try it …Thanks for the vid 🙂 BTW I'm from Colorado
3:23 blurrrgh
your knife isn't sharp…..haha thanks doing this tomarrow.
Love cornish hens! I prefer poultry with fruit wood!
love your vids man, especially the 'what are we eating' videos. Big fan from South Africa. Keep it 420
have you ever tried smoking them when the quail have been "spatchcocked"?
Mmmmmmm that brine looks like it'd be great for a pork roast too.
YOUR RECIPES ARE AL SOME, WAS NOT BORN IN THE SOUTH AND LOVE TO COOK BUT DID NOT LEARN THESE RECIPES, THANKU WOLF
