I rub them with olive oil, coat with Plowboys Yardbird, and smoke hot and fast. I would show you how they turn out but the stupid issue with Photobucket won't let me post the picture.

Found an older pic. This is how it turns out with the olive oil, Plowboys YB, hot and fast treatment.

Oh and one more thing. When doing Cornish hens hot and fast, the difference between undercooked and overdone and dry in the breast is only about 10 minutes since they are so small.

Another option would be spatchcocked if you have the time.

And... Remember... There is a Gamebirds and Poultry throwdown going on!
