I love to cook and bake just about everything, but grilling is my specialty. These game hens pick up wonderful flavor from a sweet and refreshing marinade.Kriss Erickson, Kalauea, Hawaii Ingredients:
2 cornish game hens (20 to 24 ounces 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 tablespoons ground ginger |
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes |
dash pepper |
Directions:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
