Ingredients
2 PERDUE® Fresh Whole Cornish Hens
Salt and ground pepper to taste
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon olive or vegetable oil
Instructions
- If using COVERED CHARCOAL GRILL, open all vents and prepare coals at least 30 minutes before cooking. When coals are medium, using tongs, arrange coals on either end of grill and arrange drip pan, slightly larger than hens, at center in bottom of grill or under the grate.
If using GAS GRILL, preheat to high.
If grill has 3 HEATING ZONES, turn center off and reduce the heat for the other two to medium.
If grill has 2 HEATING ZONES, turn one off and reduce the heat for the other one to medium. If grill has no drip pan, place drip pan, slightly larger than hens, on the "off" section in bottom of grill under the grate. - Season hens with salt and pepper. Trim any excess fat from tail end of hens. Tie legs together. In small bowl, combine vinegar, rosemary, brown sugar and oil.
- Place hens breast up on grill over drip pan, on the "off" section. Cover and grill, basting with balsamic mixture, 45 minutes or until meat thermometer inserted in thickest part of thigh registers 180°F. Note: Do not baste during last 5 minutes of grilling. Do not turn hens.
