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.,I made this yesterday and followed the recipe exactly. I did marinate the hens for about 2 hours before grilling and then basted them during the first half of grilling. They had an excellent flavor and the hens were nice and juicy. Thanks for a great post!,I marinated cornish hens in the ingredients all day and then threw them on my Weber grill. Magnificent! used powdered ginger and minced onion flakes because that’s what I had on hand and it works fine. I could really taste the cinnamon and cloves which really gave it a good flavor.
