- Grilled Cornish Hens:Preheat the barbecue or possibly grill to low.
- With kitchen shears, cut through the flesh and bone along both sides of the backbone. Cut from the tail end and completely remove the backbone. Open up the bird and place it on a cutting board, skin-side up. By pressing hard on the breastbone, flatten it and crush it. Brush lightly with oil. Season with salt and pepper.
- Place the hens bone side down on the grill. Cover the barbecue and cook for 25 to 30 min. Turn the hens over and grill for 15 to 20 min more or possibly till golden brown. Start brushing the hens with blueberry barbecue sauce. Turn the hens once more. Continue cooking and brushing with barbecue sauce for 10 to 15 min more, till the internal temperature reaches 175 degrees F. Let rest 5 min and serve. If there is extra sauce, bring back up to a boil and serve with the grilled Cornish hens.
- This is a very cold way to use blueberries. Frzn blueberries will work fine - you just might have to reduce the sauce a little longer.
