I'm going to cook up a cornish game hen in the oven on a stand. I usually zest an orange, but decided to buy dried orange zest for those times when I have a game hen but no orange. Anyways, I came across a site that has a chicken/game hen dry spice mix I want to copy because I have all the spices they use in their blend.
Anyways, below are the spices in their blend. I could use some help in concocting the right percentage of each spice. I think they probably list their ingredients from most to least. Could any here advise me what percentage of each ingredient to use to make up the 100%? I could guess I suppose.
"Hand mixed from: flake salt, cracked Tellicherry black pepper, sugar, minced orange peel, coriander, and turmeric". I intend to generously sprinkle it inside the game hen cavity. I don't have Tellicherry black pepper or flaked salt. I have peppercorns/ground pepper/course pepper and sea salt tho. THANKS, I am clueless what proportions to use.
If you want, you could even tell me in tsp/tbs to make up enough for one game hen.
