Method

Marinating the Game Hen

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, mix together coconut milk, finely chopped lemongrass, minced garlic, grated ginger, turmeric powder, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Game Hen

    Place the game hens in a large resealable bag or bowl, and pour the marinade over them. Ensure that the hens are well coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

Cooking the Game Hen

  2. 4

    Grill the Game Hen

    Remove the game hens from the marinade and let excess marinade drip off. Place on the grill and cook for about 25-30 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skin is charred and the meat is cooked through.
