Keto Tequila Lemon Game Hens Recipe

Ingredients

  • 2 Cornish game hens
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) lime juice
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon orange extract
  • 1 tablespoon (1.5 g) Splenda
  • 1 cup (240 ml) tequila
  • 1/4 medium onion, minced fine
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) worcestershire sauce
  • 1 whole jalapeno, seeded and minced fine

Method

  1. Wood chips or chunks, soaked for at least 30 minutes
  2. A couple of hours before dinnertime, get the grill going for indirect cooking (put the coals on one side of the grill or light only one side)
  3. Add the wood chips or chunks and place the hens on the grill
  4. Baste the hens every 30 minutes or so with the reserved marinade using a clean utensil each time
  5. Smoke the hens for about 2 1/2 hours or until their leg joints move freely
  6. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat (but not touching the bone) should register 180 to 185°F (85°C)
  7. Remove the birds from the grill and allow them to sit for 5 to 10 minutes before carving
  8. While the birds are resting, bring the reserved marinade to a boil, and boil it hard for at least 3 or 4 minutes
  9. Thicken it a little with guar or xanthan, if you like, and serve as a sauce with the hens

Makes 2 whole bird servings or 4 smaller servings

  1. Assuming 2 servings, 16 grams of carbohydrate and 1 gram of fiber-if you consume all of the marinade
  2. If you just have a spoonful or so 2 or 3 grams of usable carb; 59 grams of protein
