Cornish Game Hen on the Grill

-

This simple recipe produces chicken that is extremely juicy with crispy skin.

Absolutely delicious!

Ingredients:
  • 1 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon chopped rosemary
  • 1 tablespoon chopped thyme
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
  • Pinch crushed red pepper
  • 2 Cornish game hens, about 1 1/4 pounds each
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground white pepper

Directions:
In a small mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, lemon zest, rosemary, thyme, parsley, and crushed red pepper. Mix to combine and set aside.

Spatchcock the Chicken
Place the hens on a cutting board. With a boning knife, cut along the backbone and remove. Place the hens breast-side down and using the heel of your hand, push down to break the breastbone and flatten. Tuck the wing tips behind the joint of the wing that meets the breast. Place in a 9 by 13-inch, non-reactive baking dish and add the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 6 hours, turning occasionally to evenly coat.

Preheat the grill to about medium (about 350°F to 400°F). Optional: You can add wood chunks or chips to the coals after the grill is heated.
When the grill is ready place the butterflied birds directly over the heat skin-side-down and cook for about ten minutes with the lid closed. After the first five minutes, use grilling tongs to rotate each bird 45 or 90 degrees.
After the full ten minutes, turn the birds over so the skin side is up. Brush very lightly with olive oil and continue grilling with the lid closed for another 20 minutes.
Remove the birds from the grill when the internal temperature (measured away from the bone) is 160 to 165 degrees. The skin should be browned, and the meat moist and tender.

Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

The Hollow Earth: The Greatest Geographical Discovery in History Made by Admiral Richard E. Byrd in the Mysterious Land Beyond the Poles - The True Origin of the Flying Saucers   Widely read and reprinted many times, Raymond Bernard’s book is considered by many to be the definitive treatise on the "Hollow Earth" theory. The book purports that the Earth has a hollow and habitable interior, with a small sun in place of a molten core, and is inhabited by a race of “Superhumans” who are the descendants of the exiled residents of the long lost continents of Atlantis and Lemuria. Bernard claimed that the true North and South poles had not yet been discovered, and that in their place are concave openings to the inner Earth. Bernard quotes several diary entries and radio announcements by polar explorer Admiral Richard E. Byrd as being definitive proof for his theory that travel to the Earth’s interior was possible. Bernard claims that Byrd’s 1947 and 1956 expeditions took him “bey

  In case you are wondering why there is so much " Fake News " coming out of the Mainstream Media over the last few years: The (2012) National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) legalized the use of propaganda on the US public. On January 2, 2013 Barack Obama signed and enacted into “law” HR 4310 , also known as Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2012, which was part of the 2013 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) . A large majority of concerned Americans were focused on the  indefinite detention of US Citizens without trial clause contained in the NDAA , and missed HR 4310 which received little to no attention. From Business Insider : The NDAA Legalizes The Use Of Propaganda On The US Public The newest version of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) includes an amendment that would legalize the use of propaganda on the American public , reports Michael Hastings of BuzzFeed .

The Time Bill Clinton Threatened Peter Jennings "You Don't Want To Go There Peter!"

  An extremely pissed and paranoid-sounding Bill Clinton threatened ABC News anchorman Peter Jennings in this interview from November 2004 Bill Clinton sat down with ABC News anchor Peter Jennings in November 2004, almost four years after leaving the office. When Peter Jennings asked him about his low ranking by a group of Presidential historians for his “moral leadership,” Bill Clinton seethed in his response. Clinton could barely contain himself when Jennings told him he cared about the low rating more than he was willing to admit. He seemed to be threatening Jennings as he responded “You don’t want to go here, Peter. You don’t want to go here. Not after what you people did. And the way you – your network – what you did with Kenneth Starr. The way your people repeated every little sleazy thing he leaked. No one has any idea of what that’s like.” One thing to ponder for conspiracy theorists. Peter Jennings announced that he was suffering from lung cancer on April 5th, 2005 . This inte
