Grilled Cornish Hens

Small whole hens grilled until crispy and golden, often seasoned with herbs or citrus for a refined and tender main course.

* See Sowest 2 for recipe. ** The Cornish Game Hens should weigh about
11/4 lbs each. Prepare Plum Barbecue sauce and set aside. Cut hens into halves lengthwise. Place bone sides down on the grill. Cover and grill 5 to 6 inches from medium coals for about 35 minutes. Turn hens. Cover and grill, turning and brushing with the Plum Barbecue sauce 2 or 3 times, until done, about 25 to 35 minutes longer. Heat any remaining sauce and serve with the hens.
