INGREDIENTS

• 4 Rock Cornish Hens, thawed, giblets removed
• Salt and pepper
• 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2/3 cup chopped green onions and tops
• 2 tablespoons minced garlic
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 1/2 cup minced fresh parsley

DIRECTIONS

• Split Cornish Hens in half lengthwise; wash and pat dry. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Combine remaining ingredients in a saucepan and simmer 5- 10 minutes, watching carefully to prevent browning.
• Brush hens with sauce and place skin side up on grill over hot coals. Grill about 20-30 minutes, turning frequently and brushing occasionally with sauce. Check for doneness by piercing the thickest part of the drumstick. When juices are clear and no pink shows, hens are done. Heat remaining sauce and serve with hens.
