- Start by cutting your bacon into small pieces and then, into a cast iron skillet over medium heat, add the bacon and cook until the bacon is crispy, and the bacon fat has rendered.
- Then start cutting the brussel sprouts in half and then crosswise into to small pieces. Once the bacon has rendered its fat, remove the bacon and add the shaved brussel sprouts to the bacon grease along with minced garlic and cook on a grill. Add Western Hickory Chips for additional smoky flavor until the brussel sprouts begin to caramelize. Be sure to constantly turn the brussel sprouts so that all sides caramelize and have contact with the smoke.
- Once the brussels sprouts have cooked and caramelized to your liking, add the blue cheese and remove from the heat while continuously turning the brussels sprouts to allow the residual heat from the pan to melt the cheese. Set aside until you are ready to serve
- Preheat your smoker with Cowboy Charcoal and then add some Western Cherry Wood Chunks. You want to cook the Cornish Hen between 375 to 400 degrees.
- Start by cutting the Cornish Hen with kitchen shears down the backbone and then through the breastbone to create (2) halves. Season both sides with (SPG) Salt, Pepper, Garlic and then spray the hens with cooking spray to help the seasoning stick. Season both sides with a light dusting of your favorite BBQ rub, such as Jack Daniel's® Chicken Rub.
- Once your smoker comes up to temp, about 375 degrees, add the Cornish Hen to the smoker and cook for about 45 minutes before you check for doneness. Once the Cornish Hen is about 170 degrees internal in the thigh area, remove from the smoker and slather with the Pomegranate Molasses Honey Glaze and serve with the Blue Cheese Brussel Sprouts!!
