BUFFALO-STYLE CORNISH PIECES

Serves 2

You can re-use the frying oil called for in this recipe, or any deep frying recipe, for that matter. As long as you never heat the oil to the smoking point and as long as you strain it through cheese cloth to remove any particles of food, you can use it over and over again. The oil is still good as long as it retains it's golden color. When it has turned a dark brown, it's time to replace it. If you don't have cheese cloth handy for straining, laundered nylon stockings make a good substitute.

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1/4 cup sour cream

2 tablespoons crumbled blue cheese

2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 scallion, thinly sliced

1 small clove garlic, minced

2 fresh Cornish game hens

salt and ground pepper to taste

oil for deep frying

2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted

2 tablespoons Tabasco

In a small serving bowl prepare dressing by blending mayonnaise and sour cream. Stir in blue cheese, parsley, lemon juice, scallion and garlic. Chill. Quarter hens and remove backbones.
