This is a recipe I found in a magazine a few years back and it never disappoints! I usually use this for dinner parties because it can be prepared ahead of time and takes very little effort. This calls for Cornish Game Hens but I always use mixed pieces of chicken with the skin on! Just watch because the chicken breasts cook faster than the dark meat. I never alter the ingredients but I do marinate it for at least 4 hours or longer. I serve this with garlic-mashed potatoes and broccoli!! Oh- don’t forget the last step with the reserve marinade! Enjoy!!
This is a recipe from an old home economics cook book, but it’s one I love to make. It is great served with wild rice. Make sure hen is tender before adding honey mixture or the meat will burn. The recipe is for one Cornish Hen, but I couldn’t get the software to accept it the way I tried to enter it.

These hens are great hot off the grill but they, I think, taste even better cold. I have a gas grill, so my grilling directions are kind of geared toward that type of equipment. Charcoal can be used, of course, just use an indirect method by moving the coals to the edges and placing the hens in the middle. Marinade time is 2-3 hours.
From America’s Best Recipes 1996. Easy and very good. Toast the sesame seeds in your microwave in a shallow bowl on High for 2-3 minutes. Watch to make sure that they do not burn.
