this post is a bit late, but I though I had covered it. These are two rabbits end to end and cooked on the rotisseri.
They looked like this before starting
After 45 minutes...
and when done
and served
they where marinated with white wine, olive oil, garlic, salt , pepper, thyme, cumin. I cooked them with the indirect head burner somewhere around 350-400 although the temp control was a bit tricky. I basted them with butter and leftover marinade 2-3 times during cooking. Served with a basic side salad and some rice and beans.

Korea Trip May 2008
My friend Steve sent me this picture obviously to cause me pain.
The center dish is the object of the Umami (fermented bean stew I think) The other dishes in the picture include: 5 hour braised pork bellies, squid pepper relish, bulgogi (marinated and grilled rib eye steak), 2 kinds of kim chee (spicy pickled cucumber and radish roots) and pan-fried seafood pancakes with scallops, octopus and scallions.

baked cornish game hens
I brined the game hens in a salt, sugar, fish sauce, soy, lime, garlic and molasses liquid for 2 days. Then baked at 400 deg F for 80 minutes. The potatoes are sitting in a stock made from the necks of the hens, along with onions, garlic and parsley. I was very happy with the outcome!
prior to baking...
The bacon is to keep the skin from burning and drying out.
There is also some preserved bell pepper in there.
Done
More complete recipe:
Ok these are all eyeball measures for the brine.
I put the hens in a half gallon container and almost covered them with water (probably 3-4 inches I was trying to leave some room for the next ingredients)
added 2/3 cup of sugar
1/2 cup of salt
2 tablespoons of dark molasses
3 tablespoons fish sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
The juice and the left overs of 3 limes
4-5 large cloves of garlic mashed
a generous grinding of pepper
I the added enough water just to cover.
put them in the fridge for 24 hrs
I then drained them and patted them dry stuffed half a lime and 3 cloves of garlic in each.
The potatoes are small red potatoes salt pepper onions quartered garlic chopped, some roasted bell pepper. I added a little stock from the necks to the dish and baked at 400 deg for about 80 minutes.
