Ingredients
- 2 x Cornish game hens (1 to 1 1/2 pounds each)
- 3 Tbsp. Extra virgin olive oil
- 1/3 c. Lemon juice
- 1 Tbsp. Coarsely crushed black pepper
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1 sprg fresh rosemary (Optional)
- 50 x Briquets charcoal (about 3 pounds)
Directions
- Split the hens lengthwise, rinse and pat dry. In a small bowl, combine extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, crushed pepper and salt. Place the hen halves in a plastic bag. Set the bag in a bowl. Pour the marinade over the hens. Cover and chill for several hrs or possibly overnight, turning the hens occasionally. When the charcoal briquets are medium warm, arrange them around a drip pan in a covered grill.
- Just before grilling, add in the rosemary sprig to the coals. Remove the hens from the marinade and place them, skin side up, on the grill over the drip pan. Cover the grill and cook the hen halves for 45 min or possibly till done, basting occasionally with the marinade.
- Makes 4 servings.
