Ingredients:

Serving

4 rock cornish game hens, thawed
4 tsp all purpose greek seasoning (in spice aisle)
2 tsp grated lemon peel
1 1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp olive oil

Directions:

Preheat grill to medium-high. Combine Greek seasoning, lemon peel, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper in a small bowl.
Cut each hen down the backbone, and spread flat on cutting board. Slip your hand between the meat and skin on breast and thigh sections to loosen. Spread one-fourth of combined seasoning mixture evenly under the skin of each hen. Sprinkle hens with 1/4 teaspoon salt.
Place hens on grill, skin-side down. Cover and grill 25 minutes. Turn hens using tongs; cover and grill 20-25 minutes longer or until done (175 degrees F).
Meanwhile, combine lemon juice, olive oil and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Place hens on serving platter and drizzle with lemon-oil mixture.
