Cornish hen was never on the menu when I was growing up in a home with a Japanese grandmother.Ever.I didn't know to cook Cornish hen until last week when I made it with soy and mayonnaise.It was delicious!

I learned about spatchcocking after grilling the Cornish hens.Scockpatching is a word that means to butterfly a bird.Do I need a patchcock?There are a few reasons why you might want to grill your bird.

There is a picture of my birds on the grill.I removed the wings from one hen and put them on the other.The picture shows that the removed wings cooked faster than the body and there was a little charring on the attached wings after a few minutes of cooking.The Cornish hens were moist and tender.

I hope you try it.Chickens, ducks, turkeys, and any game bird can be spatched.Have you spatched a bird?
