- 2 hours to make
- Serves 8
This is a typical dish from the Veneto Region (Northern Italy). I wanted a recipe from the part of Italy that i am from. They are traditionally rotisseried whole on skewered, but can be baked in the oven.
Ingredients
- 8 small birds such as Cornish Game Hens or very small chickens shopping list
- 4 oz. of pancetta or bacon shopping list
- 1 bunch sage leaves shopping list
- salt shopping list
- 8 slices of polenta( recipe to follow) shopping list
How to make it
- Thread the birds onto the skewers, alternating them with slices of pancetta or bacon and the sage.
- Salt lightly, and cook on the rotisserie placing a pan underneath to catch the juices.
- Fry the polenta in this fat until a bit crisp and serve with the cooked birds.
- This can be baked in the oven also. 350 for about 1 and 1/2 hour or less, depending on size.
- My dad would make these with small chickens on special occasions.
- It is a nice dish to have at a BBQ or at a dinner party if done in the oven.
- With the polenta and roast potatoes and a salad, this makes for a lovely meal. Of course you must have some good Italian bread to mop up the juices. Enjoy!!.
