Ingredients:

Serving

2 cornish game hens (20 to 24 oz each), split lengthwise
1/2 cup olive oil
2/3 cup white wine vinegar
8 garlic cloves, minced
1/3 cup minced fresh cilantro
1/3 cup honey
1/3 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 to 3 tbsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
dash pepper

Directions:

Place hens in a large resealable plastic bag. In a small bowl, combine the remaining ingredients. Pour half into bag; add the hens. Seal bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade.
Drain and discard marinade from hens. Place hens in a 13-in. x 9-in. disposable aluminum pan. Pour reserved marinade over hens; cover pan.
Grill, covered, over medium-hot heat for 35-40 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 180° and meat juices run clear, basting frequently. Place hens directly over heat for the last 3-4 minutes of cooking time, turning once. Yield: 4 servings.
