I should know this one but don't have a clue. Then again this morning if I were told to point out Boulder on a map I probably couldn't find Colorado......

Them's some right tasty lookin' birds there James. :D :D
We either smoke them and finish on the grill to crisp the skin or grill them indirect and then finish them direct for a crisp skin. :D :D

Well I voted, then checked my answer. And of course I was wrong. Nothing new. But now I know, Did I really need to know that?

The answer is "a chicken less than 6 wks old". Thought I'd get more folks to bite on "always female" as Cornish game hens can be either sex.
