How do folks like to do game hens? Spatchcock or whole, direct or indirect and if direct raised how high?  I'm thinking whole (coz laziness), indirect, up in the dome @400.

    Big fan of spatchcocked CGH. Depending on my intended degree of attention I egg direct at normal height for 350 to 375, or 400 for raised. Both ways I start breast side up for about 50 min and then flip for like 10.

    They will turn out great just about any way you cook them. On that note, I did some a couple of days ago raised direct, whole, at 425 degrees. They were simply phenomenal. I usually go indirect but I was feeling lazy and said fukk it. It's pretty hard to f up a CGH as they are very versatile.
