Ingredients:
3 teaspoon(s) cornish hens split |
1/2 each salt and pepper |
1/4 cup(s) coarse-grain german mustard |
2 tablespoon(s) german riesling |
1 tablespoon(s) honey |
1/2 teaspoon(s) freshly ground pepper |
pinch(s) each of ground mace and ground cloves |
Directions:
1. Prepare a charcoal or gas grill for indirect-heat grilling over medium heat. Meanwhile, carefully remove as much skin as possible from the hens. Season with salt and pepper.
2. Combine the glaze indredients (mustard through cloves) in a bowl; mix thoroughly.
3. Cook the hen halves, bone side down, directly over the fire until lightly borwned. Move them to the cooler part of the grill grate; cover. Cook, turning at midpoint, 20 - 25 minutes. Prick a thigh with a fork to check for doneness. If the juices run clear, move the hen halves back over the fire; brush them on both sides with the glaze. Finsish them, turning often, until nicely browned on both sides.
