Ingredients
2 Cornish hens
Marinade
1 cup (250 ml) olive oil
1 cup (250 ml) soy sauce
1/2 cup (125 ml) coarsely chopped fresh ginger
1/2 cup (125 ml) sherry
3 to 4 tablespoons (45 to 60 ml) liquid honey
Preparation
On a cutting board, using a chef's knife, cut each chicken in half to obtain 4 chicken halves. Set aside.
Marinade
In a large glass dish, combine all the ingredients with a whisk. Add the chicken pieces and coat thoroughly. Cover and marinate for up to 6 hours turning several times, if possible (see note). Drain the chicken.
Preheat half the grill, setting the burner on high. Oil the grate.
Place the chicken halves on the off section of the grill, skin side up. Close the grill’s lid and reduce the heat to low so that the temperature remains at about 150 °C (300 °F).
Grill for about 50 minutes to 1 hour or until a thermometer inserted into the thigh without touching the bone reads 82 °C (180 °F).
Note from Ricardo
Alcohol may alter the texture of the meat if the chicken marinates for too long.
