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.
I love Cornish hens and the idea of grilling them with this flavorful mexican-inspired marinade really got my attention. The recipe recommends serving this dish with a corn salsa. Prep time does not include marinating time (overnight).
