Grilled Game Hens (or chicken pieces)

We do a lot of grilling, outside. Sometimes we cook these in three Webers going side by side. It is one of the easiest special dinners to prepare, because you know exactly when they will be done. The 12-12-12 method works with chicken parts, too. turning them keeps the moisture inside.

4 (or more) whole cornish game hens, thawed if frozen

Cajun seasoning, or any herbs desired

salt and pepper to taste

Prepare barbeque to cook indirectly (this works best on a Weber or other domed barbeque). Use enough coals, don't skimp! When coals are hot, place hens, which have been liberally sprinkled with seasonings, breast side up in a row down the center of the grill.

Turn the hens over (breast side down, then up again) every 12 minutes, for a total cooking time of 36 minutes (turned 3 times). This is a foolproof cooking method for all sorts of poultry. Remember, these will continue to cook as they set after you remove them from the grill.
