Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
3 Ready-to-roast wfld ruffed grouse (14 oz each) or farm-raised partridge
⅔ cup Strained fresh tangerine juice
⅓ cup Olive oil
2 Cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 teaspoons Chopped fresh OR

1. Split each grouse in half lengthwise. Rinse and pat dry.

2. In 13-by 9-inch glass dish, combine tangerine juice, oil, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper. Place grouse halves in dish; turn over to coat well. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes.

3. Preheat broiler or outdoor grill. Lift grouse from marinade, reserving mari- nade, and place them, breast sides down, on rack over broiler pan. If broiling, pour leftover marinade in cavity of each half. If grilling, brush birds with reserved marinade several times during grilling. Broil or grill grouse, 4 inches from heat source or over hot coals, 5 minutes. Turn grouse and cook 5 to 8 minutes longer or until breasts are firm but remain slighty pink against the bone.

4. Transfer grouse to serving plates. If desired, pour juices from broiling pan into pitcher to serve with grouse.
