Ingredients:
- 2 Cornish hens; split in half
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 1 1/4 sm Shallots
- 1 1/4 ts Sugar
- 3/4 ts Cinnamon
- 1 tb Soy sauce; plus 1 teaspoon
- 1 tb Dry sherry; plus 1 teaspoon
Instructions:
Prepare the hens by washing them inside and out and discarding the giblets.
With poultry shears, cut each hen in half. In a food processor, grind
together the garlic, shallots, sugar, and cinnamon until the mixture is
paste-like. Place in a bowl and stir in the soy sauce and sherry. Rub the
marinade over the Cornish hens and let them marinate in the refrigerator at
least 2 hours or up to 48 hours. Then, prepare an outside grill with an
oiled rack set 4 inches from the heat source. On a gas grill, set the heat
to high. Grill the hens for 30 minutes, turning once, until juices run
clear.
