Grilled Cornish Hens image

I like experimenting with different foods and adapting them to my own tastes. These hens are one of my specialties, an entree I concocted by combining a few different recipes. The moist meat has a pleasant grilled flavor that's accented with cloves and ginger.-David Baruch, Weston, Florida

This recipe was easy to follow and the hens turned out great! I used a dry rub instead of the marinade and they were still very flavorful. Will definitely be adding this to my summer grilling rotation.
