Serves: 8
- 4 Cornish Game Hens, 24 ounces each
- ⅓ cup olive oil
- ½ cup lemon juice
- ¼ cup vinegar of choice
- 3 tablespoons worcestershire sauce
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, chopped
- garlic salt to taste
- pepper to taste
- If frozen, thaw the Hens overnight in the fridge.
- Lay the Hen breast-side down and cut out the backbone.
- Mix the rest of the ingredients into a marinade. Feel free to use your favorite marinade here!
- I put all four into a gallon zip-lock bag along with the marinade.
- Place the bag in a pan in the fridge.
- Turn it occasionally so the marinade gets on all sides.
- Plan on at least 2 to 4 hours to really make it great.
- Pre heat your grill to about 375 to 400 degrees and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- Place the Hens breast-side down on the grill and cook for about 5 minutes after basting
- Turn them over, baste, and grill for another 5 minutes or so.
- Turn it back to the breast-side down and turn it to get the criss-cross marks.
- Baste and grill for another 5 minutes
- Turn it back one more time to its back and grill after basting.
- Check the temperature and make sure the juices run clear before removing from grill
- Let it sit for about 5 minutes, cut in half, and serve with your favorite side dishes!
- I have found that ½ of a Hen is perfect for most people!
- Enjoy!
