Grilled or Baked Marinated Cornish Hens

Ingredients
- 4ea. 1 ½ pound cornish hens cut in half
- ½ chopped onion
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 1 cup lemon juice
- ½ cup of olive oil
- 1 tbsp. dry white wine
- 1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp. hot sauce
- 1 tbsp. pepper
- 1 tsp. celery salt
- 1 tsp. salt
Instructions
- In a large bowl mix all spice and flavoring ingredients.
- Place halved cornish hens in the bowl, coating evenly with the marinade mixture.
- Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
- If grilling, place hens on a preheated grill, brushing occasionally with the marinade, cooking for about one hour or until no longer pink and juices run clear and internal temperature is 180 degrees F.
- If baking, preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Place hens on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Roast hens ate 425 degrees for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and continue roasting for 30 minutes or to an internal temperature of 180 degrees F. If a more crisp skin is required, broil on high for a short period, keeping watch closely as the hens will brown very quickly.
