                        - (1-1/2 lb ea) --
                        - split lengthwise
     1/4  c             Olive oil
     1/3  c             White wine vinegar
   4      cl            Garlic -- minced
   3      tb            Cilantro or parsley -- chopped
   3      tb            Honey
   3      tb            Soy sauce
   1      tb            Ground ginger
     1/4  ts            Crushed red pepper flakes

Place hens in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow glass
container. Add remaining ingredients (up to 2 tb ground ginger); seal
or cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Remove hens, reserving
marinade. Place hens in a 13x9x2" disposable aluminum pan. Pour
marinade over hens; cover pan. Grill, covered, over medium-hot coals,
basting frequently, for 35 to 40 minutes or until juices run clear
and a meat thermometer reads 170°F. Place hens directly over coals
for the last 3 to 4 minutes of cooking time, turning once.
