Grilled Cornish Game Hens

I was never a fan of the Cornish Hen.  All the recipes I tried were disasters.  Either the hen was overdone or underdone and it seemed like a lot of work for such a small unsuccessful result.  I had given up on the little hen until (dot. dot. dot.)

I discovered the following recipe!  Easy! Flavor! Success! (enjoy!)

Ingredients:

1/2 onion, chopped 2 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped 1 cup lemon juice (lime juice works well too!) 1/2 cup olive oil 1 tablespoon white wine 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce 1 tablespoon pepper 1 teaspoon celery salt 1 teaspoon salt 4 (1 1/2 pound) Cornish game hens (I cut them in half to speed up grilling time.)

Directions:

1.	In a large, non-reactive bowl, mix onion, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, white wine, Worcestershire sauce, hot pepper sauce, pepper, celery salt, and salt. Place Cornish game hens in the bowl, coating evenly with the marinade mixture. Cover, and marinate in the refrigerator at least 4 hours.
2.	Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil grate.
3.	Cook hens about 1 hour on the prepared grill, brushing occasionally with remaining marinade, until no longer pink and juices run clear.
