Ingredients

(Advocate-tested recipe)

2/3 cup ketchup
1/2 cup orange marmalade
2 tablespoons sliced green onions
1 tablespoon prepared mustard
2 Cornish game hens without giblets, thawed and split

Directions

Mix ketchup, marmalade, onions and mustard in a small bowl. Reserve 3/4 cup of mixture for basting. Place remaining mixture in large resealable plastic bag. Add Cornish hen halves to bag. Turn to coat. Refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight.

Preheat grill to medium-high for indirect cooking. Remove hens from marinade, discarding leftover marinade.

Brush hens with 1/4 cup reserved basting mixture. Place on grill, cut side up, over indirect heat. Cover and grill for 25 minutes. Turn hens and brush with 1/4 cup basting mixture. Cover and grill for 20 minutes. Turn hens. Brush with remaining basting mixture. Grill 10 to 20 minutes or until hens are done (internal temperature 180 F).
