SPICED GRILLED CORNISH HEN
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon honey
2 teaspoons chili powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1 teaspoon fresh orange juice
a 1 1/4-pound Cornish hen, halved lengthwise (available by request from butcher)
Prepare grill.
In a small saucepan melt butter with honey, chili powder, and cayenne. Remove pan from heat and stir in juice and salt and pepper to taste.
Rinse and pat hen halves dry and season with salt. Grill hen halves, skin sides down, on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals 5 minutes. Turn halves over with metal tongs and grill, basting with spice mixture, 20 minutes more. Grill halves, without basting, until cooked through, about 10 minutes more. (Alternatively, grill hen halves in an oiled, hot, well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderately high heat.)
Serves 2.

I love cornish hen. I would suggest some stuff to keep it moist. Just baked it in the oven. I don't see any reason you couldn't deep fry it...

Mix butter with your favorite seasonings. Then, use your finger and separate the skin from the meat. Push some butter up there, as far as you can get it. Then, butter up the outside as well. Bake it until it's done. Easy and tasty.

roast or bake, but the beer butt on the grill is the best for moisture and flavor.
