With the heel of your hand, press on each breast, flattening it somewhat. Tuck the tip of the wing under the breast. With a sharp knife, make a small slit in the skin between the breast and thigh. Stick the end of the leg through the slit. Then place the hens in a non-reactive pan or bowl just large enough to hold them.<\/span> <span style=\"font-size: small\">In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining ingredients, except the grapefruit slices and mint leaves, until well combined. Pour the marinade over the hens; cover and refrigerate for about 4 hours.<\/span> <span style=\"font-size: small\">To cook over charcoal, grill the hens skin side down for 15 to 20 minutes. Turn and grill another 15 minutes, until the hens are tender, basting occasionally.<\/span> <span style=\"font-size: small\">To oven broil, put the hens in the broiler 4 inches from the flame under moderately high heat for 15 to 20 minutes on each side, basting occasionally with the marinade.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Tahoma\"><span style=\"font-size: small\">Garnish with grapefruit slices and mint leaves before serving<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Tahoma\"><span style=\"font-size: small\">YIELD: 6 servings<br \/>  Preparation time: 1 hour plus 4 hours marinating time.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":31332,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","tags":[166,183,78],"cuisine-recipe-category":[61],"cuisine-recipe-course":[],"cuisine-recipe-cuisine":[],"class_list":["post-41040","cuisine-recipe","type-cuisine-recipe","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-citrus-recipe","tag-grapefruit-recipe","tag-ruby-red-grapefruit","cuisine-recipe-category-entree"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog2.halegroves.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cuisine-recipe\/41040","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog2.halegroves.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cuisine-recipe"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog2.halegroves.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/cuisine-recipe"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog2.halegroves.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog2.halegroves.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=41040"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog2.halegroves.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/31332"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog2.halegroves.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=41040"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog2.halegroves.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=41040"},{"taxonomy":"cuisine-recipe-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog2.halegroves.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cuisine-recipe-category?post=41040"},{"taxonomy":"cuisine-recipe-course","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog2.halegroves.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cuisine-recipe-course?post=41040"},{"taxonomy":"cuisine-recipe-cuisine","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog2.halegroves.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cuisine-recipe-cuisine?post=41040"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
