Debone hen, beginning at top of bird along either side of breast bone. Using a sharp knife, work your way down each side of carcass trying to remove as much meat from bone as possible, to make 2 halves. Leave in leg and wing bones, but discard carcass (or save for stock).
In a shallow non-reactive container large enough to hold both halves of hen combine honey, allspice, orange juice and zest, olive oil, and salt and pepper. Add cornish hen halves, turning to coat; meat should be completely covered with marinade. Refrigerate for 2 hours, turning once.
Preheat grill for 30 minutes. When it is medium-hot, place cornish hen halves on grill, skin side down, for 8 minutes. Watch carefully -- it can burn easily because of honey in marinade. When first side is browned, turn and move halves to a cooler section of grill. Finish cooking about 12 minutes more, or until meat is no longer pink when you make a small slit down to the bone. Serve with Bourbon-Mashed Sweet Potatoes.
This recipe yields 1 serving.
