This grilled Cornish game hen recipe is great for summer. The juicy, tender, marinated game hens will melt in your mouth.
Ingredients
- 1 cup lemon juice
- ½ cup olive oil
- ½ medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped
- 1 tablespoon white wine
- 1 tablespoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
- 1 teaspoon celery salt
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 (1 1/2 pound) Cornish game hens
Directions
Step 1
Whisk lemon juice, oil, onion, garlic, wine, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, hot pepper sauce, celery salt, and salt together in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add game hens and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
Step 2
When ready to cook, preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
Step 3
Remove hens from marinade and shake off excess. Save remaining marinade for basting.
Step 4
Cook hens on the preheated grill, brushing occasionally with remaining marinade, until no longer pink and the juices run clear, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Discard any unused marinade.
