God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

In the sentence of life, the devil may be a comma--but never let him be the period.

INGREDIENTS

4 Cornish game hens
6 lg Garlic cloves
1/3 c Fresh rosemary leaves; lightly crushed
1 tb Fresh marjoram leaves
Freshly ground black pepper
1 sm Bunch Fresh thyme
1/2 c Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher or coarse sea salt
1 Dozen Grapevine cuttings; optional, see * Note

INSTRUCTIONS

* Note: Vine cuttings are available at some specialty shops and home center
stores. Soak dried vine cuttings in water before adding to barbecue fire.
Cuttings that are green inside when snapped in two do not need to be
soaked.
Rinse hens and pat dry. Split along backbone with shears. Cut away backbone
and discard. Open out hens on work surface, skin-side up. With palm of
hand, push sharply and hard on breastbones to crack and flatten breasts.
Make slit in skin at base of each thigh and tuck end of each drumstick in
slit to anchor it. Place hens in large shallow nonreactive bowl or pan. Put
garlic through press onto birds. Sprinkle rosemary, marjoram and generous
grindings of pepper on birds and rub seasonings into surface. Layer whole
thyme sprigs on and between birds. Pour olive oil over birds and turn to
coat. Marinate in refrigerator at least 2 hours, turning occasionally, or
overnight. Remove from refrigerator 20 minutes before cooking. Heat gas
grill to medium. Or place coals at sides of grill, leaving center as
indirect cooking area. When coals are ashen and glowing, place game hens
over indirect heat, skin-side up, and salt to taste. Add rosemary stalks
and cuttings to coals. Grill hens 15 minutes, then turn skin-side down and
salt to taste. Add more vine cuttings if needed. Grill hens until cooked
through, about 15 more minutes. Move to hottest part of fire during last 5
minutes of cooking to crisp skin. Cut in half to serve. Yields 8 servings.
