4 Rock Cornish hens (approx. 1 1/2 lbs. each)
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp. fresh ginger, minced
3/4 c. soy sauce
4 tbsp. peanut oil

Split cornish hens in half using poultry or kitchen knife; set aside.

Combine garlic, soy sauce, peanut oil, ginger and 1/4 cup water in large shallow baking dish. Add hens and marinate at least 1/2 hour, turning occasionally.

Grill hens turning and basting with marinade frequently. Cook about 30 minutes or until tender and juices run clear when pierced with a fork. Reserve remaining marinade for dipping sauce. Serves 4.
