Chipotle Lime Grilled Cornish Hens

Ingredients

  • 4 Premium Cornish Hen without Giblets , thawed
  • 1 tablespoon cumin, crushed
  • 2 teaspoons oregano leaves
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons salt, kosher
  • 4 teaspoons lime peel, grated
  • 1/2 cup lime juice
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 large chipotle chile, in adobo sauce, finely chopped, with 1 tsp adobo sauce


Cooking Instructions

  1. Heat a small skillet over medium. Add cumin seeds; heat 1 minute. Add oregano; cook and stir 30 seconds or until cumin is lightly toasted. Add 1 teaspoon oil and garlic; cook 30 seconds. Remove from heat.
  2. Blend cumin mixture and remaining ingredients, except hens, in a small bowl. Rinse hens and pat dry. Lightly salt and pepper inside of hens. Secure wings to hens and tie legs together with string, if desired. Place marinade in a large resealable plastic bag; add hens and seal bag. Turn bag to coat hens evenly with marinade. Refrigerate at least 8 hours or overnight, turning occasionally.
  3. Set up grill for indirect cooking: For gas grill, preheat all burners on high. Turn one burner off; place food over “off” burner. Reset remaining burner(s) to medium. Close lid. For charcoal grill, arrange hot coals around outer edge of grill; place disposable pan in open space; place food over open area. Close lid. Heat to medium.
  4. Remove hens from marinade; discard leftover marinade. Place hens (not touching) over indirect heat on grill. Grill hens, covered, 50 to 60 minutes or until done (internal temp 180ºF). Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
