fresh Cornish game hens
your favorite poultry or BBQ seasonings
garlic cloves (optional)

Rinse Cornish hen and pat dry. Take you poultry or kitchen scissors and cut the back side of the hens. Lay flat. Drizzle hens lightly with olive oil, then add your favorite seasonings (garlic lovers insert slivers of garlic cloves inside hens). Refrigerate for 2 hours, allowing the hens and seasonings to unite.

Prepare your grill with hickory wood chips soaking in a container. Sprinkle wood chips over coal when ready. Lay Cornish hens away from the fire (cook with indirect heat).

BASTING SAUCE:

8 oz. Chipotle sauce
8 oz. Chili sauce
dash of Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp. brown sugar or honey
2 tsp. liquid smoke
1 tbsp. butter

Combine all ingredients in a saucepan on very low heat until all ingredients have united.

Baste Cornish hens at the end of cooking time (165°F internal temperature).

It will be delicious and nutritious... Enjoy!
