Cornish game hens sound so fancy, like some sort of expensive European delicacy, but they're really a small very tasty chicken. They're not even very expensive, I just saw them at Peapod for $2.69 a pound, about $8 for 2. Throw them on the grill and you have a delicious knock their socks off dinner.
The grill is not usually my department, I'm not great at controlling the heat and I tend to burn things. But I can manage these cornish game hens. Mine came split down the middle. I put them in a large ziplock bag with vegetable oil and sprinkled a whole bunch of Penzey's Old World Seasoning (it's this great spice combo with a bunch of paprika. Makes poultry taste and look great). Then I just threw them on the grill at a medium setting and shut the grill. I kept flipping the birds every five minutes and they were done after a little over 30 minutes.
Also in the picture (in case you were wondering) are white sweet potatoes and grilled zucchini topped with parmesan. A little grilling feast!
