These Sweet & Spicy Jalapeño Glazed Cornish Roasted Game Hens are, as the name suggests, sweet and spicy, due to the fact that I use the brine from my Candied Jalapeños for the glaze! The Cornish Game Hens stay moist and juicy and the skin is crispy with just a little hint of heat!!

I’m delighted to be partnering with NEW PAM® Spray Pump Olive Oil for this post! I have been using PAM cooking sprays for decades and I’m so excited that they have now introduced a non aerosol, Spray Pump Olive Oil! I have bought many pump sprayers for different oils in the past. Every different make and model has been tried from Chef’s stores and online. After a few months I inevitably end up throwing out the sprayers because there is absolutely no way that I have found to properly clean them! You can never get all the grease off of them! PAM Spray Pump has now solved this dilemma for me and I couldn’t be more thrilled! Now all I have to do is rinse the bottle and recycle it!
The other beautiful thing about using PAM Spray Pump, as opposed to oil in a spritzer is that PAM Spray Pump is not oil! It is a cooking spray that has far superior no- stick properties than plain oil!
To get the best price, purchase the PAM at Walmart, which is conveniently located only 10 miles from me!
You can find the New PAM Olive Oil Spray in aisle 17 of the new Walmart Superstore on Bay Point Dr. in Webster, NY.

I serve these Sweet & Spicy Jalapeño Glazed Cornish Roasted Game Hens with a special Spicy Cornbread and Sausage Stuffing. The recipe for that shall follow shortly!! Of course, our favorite stuffing is stuffin’ muffins, so I spray the muffin tins with PAM Spray Pump. It makes for easy cleanup! Let’s face it, who doesn’t like the crispies best?? We used to fight for the crispies when my Mom stuffed a bird!
Look at how beautiful these Sweet & Spicy Jalapeño Glazed Roasted Cornish Game Hens are!! Of course they are made so much healthier using PAM Spray Pump as opposed to butter! I can control the amount of fat added to these hens!

Has anyone actually made these and reviewed the dish. All I see are people talking about how the pictures look.
I made it. They are super good but perhaps I’m a bit prejudiced. 😊
I love Pam! I can’t believe anyone wouldn’t love these Cornish Game Hens! Soooo good! Thank you for the inspiration! Do you have the Candied Jalapeno recipe on here? I’d love to try them next summer!
I love PAM, as well! I have the candied jalapeños recipe scheduled for February 16th! I had to wait 3 months before I could use them! They are sooo good! Thank you for your comment!!
