  1. Slightly sweet, slightly sally, this Asian marinade caramelizes on the grill. Two Cornish game hens may be substituted for squab.

  2. Grill the split hens for 7 to 8 minutes per side.

  3. Place each squab on its back on a cutting board. With a sharp knife or poultry shears, split the bird in half through the breast bone. Cut out the backbone.

  4. In a shallow, non aluminum dish, mix remaining ingredients. Add the squab, turn to coat evenly, cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours or over night. Drain the squab and reserve the marinade. Prepare a charcoal or gas grill and grill the squab for about 6 minutes. Baste once with reserved marinade; discard marinade. Turn and cook for about 6 minutes longer, or until the juices run clear when pierced with a fork.

  5. From "Eating Well", Jan/Feb, 1992.
