We did a complete 180 in this video and used the gas grill, has the gasser! We wanted to illustrate that you don’t need a smoker for all of our recipes, in fact most you can use any smoker or grill. This was a rather simple yet delicious recipe. Cornish Hens are under-utilized in my opinion. This turned out great, I hope you give them a try!

• 2 Cornish Hens

• 1/2 TSP Salt

• 1/2 TSP Black Pepper

• 1 TBSP of Jerk Seasoning

• 2 TBSP of Worcestershire Sauce

• 2 TBSP of Olive Oil

• 1/2 Stick of Butter

• 1 Package of Fresh Poultry Herbs

• 4 Cloves of Fresh Garlic

• Two spring Onions Chopped

We set up our gas grill running two zones. On the hot side we ran at 400 degrees.

While preheating your grill, wrap two bricks with foil.

Remove the backbone from each hen then score the breastbone with a sharp knife, flip hen over skin side up and press down flattening the bird completely.

Apply the Worcestershire sauce as a binder. Season with Salt, Pepper and jerk seasoning.

Place hens skin side down on the hot side of the grill. Place bricks on top.

After 6-8 minutes, remove brick, flip chicken and place brick back on top for 6-8 more minutes.

In a skillet add the olive oil, butter, fresh herbs, garlic and onions. Let simmer for 10 minutes.

Remove the bricks from the hens.

Place the hens on the cooler zone of the grill and baste with herb sauce.

Remove when you reach an internal temp of 165 in the breast and 190 in the thighs.

GET YOU SOME!!!
