Method

  1. Combine all seasonings.
  2. Brush hens with bacon fat. Massage seasoning mixture into hens. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  3. Preheat a charcoal grill using a chimney.
  4. Place hens on the grill. Grill them, turning constantly, until internal temperature of both the thigh and breast reach 165°F.
  5. Remove hens from grill and let rest 10 minutes. Serve.

Notes

  • Do not use a solvent with the charcoal grill. It gives the food a chemical taste even if you follow the directions.
