Grilled game hens

4 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 Cornish game hens, 1 1/2 pounds apiece, split lengthwise
¼ cup Olive oil
⅓ cup White wine vinegar
4 Cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons Cilantro or parsley, chopped
3 tablespoons Honey
3 tablespoons Soy sauce
1 tablespoon Ground ginger
¼ teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
1 dash Pepper

Directions

Place hens in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow glass container.

Add remaining ingredients (up to 2 tablespoons ground ginger); seal or cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Remove hens, reserving marinade.

Place hens in a 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. disposable aluminum pan. Pour marinade over hens; cover pan. Grill, covered, over medium-hot coals, basting frequently, for 35-40 minutes or until juices run clear and a meat thermometer reads 170 degrees. Place hens directly over coals for the last 3-4 minutes of cooking time, turning once. Yield: 4 servings.
