Roadside Cornish Hens

[Vermin999]

Split 3 cornish hens in half and marinated in roadside marinade overnight and made another batch to baste every 5 minutes or so. Cooked at 350* direct.

Chicken with fingerling potatoes tossed in some evoo and salt.

Tools of the trade.

About 5 more minutes and the chicken was done.

Plated with potatoes, brussel sprouts and okra.

I have only made this a few times and this was the best yet. Chicken was very moist and tender.

Yes the food looks absolutely killer V but inquiring minds want to know, what in the red cup?

 

[Vermin999]

Iced tea. Trying to break a bad habit that is starting to develop. I open a beer or 3 every time I fire up the grill and I grill a lot.

Same problem here, the older I get the more I wonder if I want to eat or drink the calories ... I keep doing both and I gotta stop some time

It was the best roadside chicken I have made but I marinated the chicken a lot longer than I have in the past too.

Looks awesome!
Noticed something though in the first pic... Do you keep the lid vent on the same side as the coals?
