Pollo / Chicken

Grilled Cornish Hens
with Habanero Glaze

1-2 Cornish Hens, per person
1 small jar of Lime Marmalade
1-2 Habaneros,seeded and julienne,
the thinner the better
The stripped rind from a lime
olive oil

Tequila, Rum, Sherry or water-use only enough
to slightly dilute if glaze is too thick.

On a kettle type grill pile
the readied coals about the
side of the grill.
Oil lightly the poultry
and place in the middle of the
grill with clear space about them.
Cover the grill for 5 minutes and cook the
poultry without the glaze.
While they cook mix the marmalade, chile,
lime spritz and liquid of choice.
If you heat this up in microwave or on
stovetop it will be easier to work with.
Using basting brush to stir and apply with.
Uncover the Cornish Hens
and baste with sauce.
Continue to cover, grill bake,
uncover and baste, and
repeat until the birds are done.
I won't say a time since
grills and conditions vary
but only cook until done.
If the glaze gets too brown
or charred it does not taste
as good.
This dish can be done in a 350 degree oven, too.
