Avocado oil3 tbsp
Cornish hens3
Tarragon

Instructions

Brine the hens for at least 1 hour or overnight: simmer 2 quarts water, 1/2 cup salt, 1/2 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons peppercorns and 1 bay leaf for 20 minutes, then cool it completely (ice speeds this up) before adding the chicken and refrigerating.
Blend the habanero, garlic, green onion and ginger until smooth. Add the rest of the rub ingredients and mix to a paste.
Pat the chicken completely dry after brining, rub the paste all over it, then marinate for another hour or up to overnight in the fridge.
Set the grill or oven to 400°F.
Oven: place the chicken on a rack inside a baking tray and roast for about 1 hour, until the thickest part reads 160°F on a thermometer.
Grill: cook the chicken on the rotisserie until the thickest part reads 160°F; adjust the height for the heat, as cooking time varies.
Rest the chicken for 5 to 10 minutes before carving and serving.
