GRILLED CORNISH GAME HENS WITH JAMAICAN BASTING SAUCE
Another delicious way to prepare Cornish game hens. Cooking on the grill varies due to distance of the food from the heat, grill style, and source of heat. Chicken skin burns easily, so frequent turning is necessary. Recipe comes from Foster Farms.
