Cowgirl is surely one of my favorite Brethren of all time. She is so resourceful, and finds many new ways of cooking food with fire and smoke that I often wonder "Why didn't I think of that"?
I decided to create my own tribute to Cowgirl by incorporating some of her favorite ingredients into a finished meal that I think captures the essence of her fine culinary skills.
First, I started out with some Rock Cornish game hens, (Cowgirl likes small birds) which we brined for about 2 hours in a mixture of water, brown sugar, Kosher salt, peppercorns, bay leaves, and tangerine peels:
When we removed the bird from the brine, we let them air dry over a rack. We then put my special Moose Chicken Rub #2 on the birds, along with some seasoned pepper:
Meanwhile, The Missus whipped up a batch of of tatoes seasoned with garlic, sea salt, and fresh rosemary from the garden:
We then put the birds on the spit to slowly spin into crispy skin goodness:
When everything was ready, we plated up, and this is how it looked:
Thanks for checking out my meal for Cowgirl!
