Cornish Hen French Dip Sandwiches | A flavorful sandwich with a delicious dip, sauteed veggies and melted cheese.  Re-create your favorite diner food with a twist!  Instead of using beef use Tyson® Cornish Hens!  I am so excited to share with you that Tyson® Cornish Hens are ALL Natural with No artificial ingredients or preservatives, and NO added hormones or steroids.  They are perfect for any occasion whether that’s a weeknight or a special celebration.  Be sure to check out more delicious ways to grill up the Tyson® Cornish Hens and ideas for using Kikkoman® Sauces in your favorite recipe on the hub.  I’d love to hear your favorite!

For this recipe I grilled the Tyson® Cornish Hens!  That’s right you can grill them.  They came out juicy and delicious.  Cut the hens in half down the center of the breast cutting through to the back.  You should have a breast, wing, thigh and leg on each side.  Sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper.  Set the heat on your grill to medium high.  Place hens on direct heat 10 to 15 minutes or until the halves reach a golden color.  Take the hen halves off the direct heat and cook on indirect heat an additional 15 minutes.  TIP:  I have three burners on my grill.  So I turned off the center burner and placed the hen halves there to finish cooking.  Cool on a platter until the hens can be handled; remove skin and shred (look below for the dip recipe and further instructions on this recipe).

What’s my secret ingredient for the best dipping juice ever?  Kikkoman® Low-Sodium Soy Sauce.  That’s right!  The soy sauce adds just the right amount of salty delicious flavor!
