Directions

Prep 15 minCook 25 min
  1. 1

    Finely chop the basil, rosemary, and garlic. Using kitchen shears, remove the backbone from each Cornish hen and press flat (spatchcock). Pat dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    In a blender, combine olive oil, chopped herbs, and garlic with 1 tablespoon kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper; blend into a coarse paste. Rub the mixture all over the hens, getting under the skin where possible.

  3. 3

    Preheat a grill for two-zone cooking: one side medium-high direct heat (about 425–450°F) and the other side indirect heat.

  4. 4

    Clean and oil the grill grates. Place hens skin side down over direct heat and sear until well browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side.

  5. 5

    Move hens to the indirect-heat side, skin side up. Cover and grill until the thickest part of the breast registers 160–165°F, about 15 to 20 minutes.

  6. 6

    Transfer to a platter, tent loosely with foil, and rest 10 minutes before serving.
