    Teriyaki Grilled Hens

    One of my favorite meals growing up was Teriyaki Glazed Cornish Game Hens. I have an uncle who is an ah-mazing cook, and this was one of his specialties. We always knew that when we were invited over for dinner we would be fed like kings, but when we heard he was serving hens, we were especially excited.

    Looking back, I honestly don't know how he did it every night. He had 5 children and always had at least 3 extra people over for dinner (we have a very large family so there is also someone that needed to be invited). Cooking for a crowd gets me so nervous, and he did it almost daily!

    Grilled Cornish Hens with Teryiaki Sauce

    I love the daintiness of Tyson® Cornish Hens and how they look on a plate...fancy. Not only are they delicious and all natural with no artificial ingredients or preservatives, but they are also really easy to make and grill. Teriyaki is by far our favorite glaze, but a honey mustard sauce is also delicious to serve over the hen.

    Grilled Hen Ingredients

    Kikkoman® Sauces are a staple in our home. I add a splash to almost every sauce that I make because it enhances the flavor so well.  What I love about this teriyaki sauce recipe is that it makes a bunch, so I always freeze a small jars worth. Last week I used the leftover glaze on salmon and it was delicious!

    The next time you are looking for an easy meal that is sure to impress, make these Teriyaki glazed Tyson® Cornish Hens. I am sure you will have some clean plates!

        Soy sauce is a base ingredient in Teriyaki sauce and gives it that delicious fermented salty flavor.
