Game Hens and rice on the drum

[cowgirl]

More hot tub hens... I know I've made this many times but it's one of my favorites. :redface:
I brined the game hens in a mix of water, kosher salt, turbinado sugar, onions, garlic, bay leaves and black pepper.

Fried some bacon... added onion and garlic to the drippings..then chicken broth and a wild rice mixture....

rubbed the hens with butter and seasoned with cracked black pepper...

then place everything into the drum.

had to smoke a spam too...with cayenne/brown sugar and whiskey

I sprinkled the crisp bacon on top of the rice...

It was kind of tasty!

Thanks for checking out my supper.
