Directions:
- Split game hens in half.
- In bowl, combine lime juice, tequila, olive oil, Cointreau, garlic and jalapeno.
- Place split hens in oblong baking dish and pour tequila mixture over; turn hens to coat.
- Cover and marinate, turning once or twice, overnight in refrigerator.
- Remove from refrigerator and let set at room temperature about 1 hour before cooking.
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Coat a shallow baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- Remove hens from marinade and arrange, skin-side up, in baking pan.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Bake at 400 degrees on upper rack of oven, basting occasionally with marinade, until skin is golden and juices from thighs, pierced at their thickest part, run pinkish-yellow, 30-40 minutes. (Or bbq using your favorite method, spit or on the grill).
- Boil remaining marinade and pour over hens just before serving. (Add more tequila if needed, to make enough sauce).
