Cowboy Turn Spit Game Hens

Ingredients

Makes 12

• 12  Cornish game hens
• 1  bottle Jack Daniel's Horseradish mustard
• 1  bottle Jack Daniel's Old No. 7 BBQ sauce
• 1  c  water
• 6  Tbsp  Campfire Cafe Garlic Butter TM spice

Preparation

Season the hens with Garlic Butter^TM spice and line them up on the Turn Spit. We made as many as we could fit on the Spit; you make what you need for your crew. Hang the spit up about 3/4 of the distance between the crossbar and the fire, over a medium fire with a good bed of coals. Give it 1/4 turn about every 20 minutes, for about 1-1/2 hours. Hens are done when juices run clear. Thin the mustard with a little water in a small bowl. Once hens begin to cook, baste with the mustard and BBQ sauce. Cook until done. Split down the middle, place on platter, and serve with Chicken & Dumplings.
