- Set aside 1/2 c. of the glaze for basting.
- Yield is about 1 1/2 c. of marinade.
- Cornish Hens:Spatchcock the hens. With kitchen shears, cut through the flesh and bone along both sides of the backbone. Cut from the tail end to 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.
- Put the hens in a resealable plastic bag and pour the Chipotle Marinade in.
- Seal the bag and marinate the hens overnight in the refrigerator.
- Preheat the barbecue or possibly grill to low.
- Remove the hens from the marinade and bring the hens to room temperature.
- Place them bone side down on the grill.

- Turn the hens once more.

- Chipotle Mayonnaise:Blend Large eggs, mustard, lemon juice and vinegar in a food processor.
- With processor running, add in a stream of both oils slowly till mix emulsifies and thickens.
- Remove to a bowl and mix in the chipotle and season with salt and pepper.
- Yield is about 1 1/4 c. of mayonnaise.
- Spatchcocking is just flattening the chicken and taking out the backbone. It's an excellent way to ensure which the hens cook proportionately on the grill. You'll need a good, sharp pair of kitchen shears and long metal skewers. The Cornish hens go great with the Chipotle Mayonnaise. If you'd prefer to avoid using raw egg for the homemade mayonnaise, store-bought mayonnaise works just as well in place of the egg and oil combination. Just add in the mustard, lemon juice, vinegar, chipotle and salt and pepper to 1 c. of the bottled variety.
- Yield is 4 servings.
