Ingredients:

Serving

1/4 cup butter, softened
2 green onions, finely chopped
2 tbsp minced fresh parsley
2 tbsp grated fresh gingerroot
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp salt, divided
1/2 tsp pepper, divided
4 cornish game hens (20 to 24 oz each)

Directions:

In a small bowl, combine the butter, onions, parsley, ginger, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
Rub mixture under the skin and over the top of each game hen. Sprinkle remaining salt and pepper inside the hen cavities.
Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Prepare grill for indirect heat, using a drip pan.
Place hens breast side up over drip pan and grill, covered, over indirect medium heat for 45-60 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 180° and the meat juices run clear. Yield: 4 servings.
