Source of Recipe
from wwr recipes when it was Free
When grilling poultry outdoors, Cornish game hens are
some people's bird of
choice. Their small size makes them cook faster, more evenly, and
they are much easier to handle as finger food than their fully grown
cousins.
grilled - Game Hens, w/honey+lime
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/4 cup (60 ml) fresh lime juice
3 Tablespoons (45 ml) vegetable oil
2 Tablespoons (30 ml) honey
2 teaspoons (10 ml) finely chopped fresh thyme or 1 tsp (5 ml) dried
1 teaspoon (5 ml) finely chopped lime zest
1 teaspoon (5 ml) ground paprika
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2 - 3 Cornish game hens, halved, backbone removed
Whisk together all ingredients except the game hens in a mixing bowl
and transfer to large resealable plastic bag.
Add the halved game hens and turn the bag to distribute the marinade.
Refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours, turning occasionally.
Remove the game hens and discard the marinade.
Grill over indirect heat, bone side down, until the juices run clear and
the meat is no longer pink at the bone, 20 to 30 minutes.
Remove from the grill and allow to rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Makes 4 to 6 servings.
