• STEP 5.Remove the poussins from the grill or oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve hot with your favorite side dishes.

Cooking Tips

• If you don't have poussins, you can use small Cornish hens or even chicken quarters.
• For extra heat, add more cayenne pepper to the marinade.
• Make sure to let the poussins rest before serving to allow the juices to redistribute and the meat to become tender.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover devilled poussins can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, place the poussins in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through.
• Serve the devilled poussins as a main course with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
