Introduction
Got the idea for this on another site. It originally called for 4 whole game hens but I changed this to accomodate a more reasonable portion size. I also broiled the hens first to cut out the fat a bit and make the skin light and crispy. You can skip this step if you are short on time. Thanks Jean for the idea!
