Time 45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 Cornish hens, Split (1 1/4 to 1 1/2 lb each)
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons dried whole thyme, crushed
2 teaspoons dried oregano, crushed
2 teaspoons dried whole rosemary, crushed

Steps:

  • Place the split hens in a 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking dish.
  • Combine the lemon juice and the remaining ingredients; stir well with a wire whisk. Pour the marinade mixture over the hens. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours, turning occasionally.
  • Prepare your grill so that you have medium-hot coals (350 to 400 degrees).
  • Drain the hens, reserving the marinade. Place the marinade in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Grill the hens over medium-hot coals (350 to 400 degrees) for 30 minutes or until done, turning and basting occasionally with the marinade.
