  I made these on my grill today, I used some hickory chips to give it a little smoke taste.  It was so good I can't believe I ate the whole thing!!!  It was delicious, I will make them again!!  Thanks for reciepe.

That sounds pretty good.

I have a pretty good technique for game hens on the grill.  First, cut out the backbone so the bird is butterflied.  Season anyway you like.  turn your grill on HIGH and put two bricks covered in foil in there and let them get hot for about 20 minutes.  Then put the hens on skin side down and put the bricks on top.  Close the lid and turn the temp down to med-low.  Let them go for about 15 minutes, flip and give them another 5. 

The butterfly and bricks make the birds cook a lot faster and therefor prevent them from drying out.  Plus the skin gets nice and crispy (the best part).

Holdem...  I put the cornish hens on the grill again today.  This time I made one for my wife, she loved it and said it was much better than when I put some in the slow cooker.  She said I could make one again some day!!  This would be good for when I go up to the shack....
