How to Make Bbq Balsamic Cornish Game Hens
- **Prepare the Marinade:** In a large resealable plastic bag, whisk together 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar, 1/4 cup olive oil, 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary (chopped), 1 teaspoon hot sauce, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- **Marinate the Hens:** Add the Cornish game hens to the marinade bag. Seal the bag, ensuring the hens are fully coated. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
- **Preheat & Prep:** Preheat your BBQ grill to medium heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
- **Grill the Hens:** Place the hens skin-side down on the preheated grill.
- **Baste & Cook:** Baste the hens with the reserved marinade every 10 minutes. Cook for 20-30 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 165°F (74°C). The juices should run clear when pierced.
- **Rest & Serve:** Remove the hens from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
