Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 Cornish game hens, 1 1/2 pounds apiece -- split
lengthwise
1/4 cup olive oil
1/3 cup white wine vinegar
4 cloves garlic -- minced
3 tablespoons cilantro or parsley -- chopped
3 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
dash pepper

Place hens in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow glass container. Add
remaining ingredients (up to 2 tablespoons ground ginger); seal or cover and
refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Remove hens, reserving marinade. Place hens
in a 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. disposable aluminum pan. Pour marinade over
hens; cover pan. Grill, covered, over medium-hot coals, basting frequently,
for 35-40 minutes or until juices run clear and a meat thermometer reads 170
degrees. Place hens directly over coals for the last 3-4 minutes of cooking
time, turning once. Yield: 4 servings.
