Cornish & Scallops

Plenty of cooking coming up for the weekend but my son wanted something on the egg. Went to the butcher and picked out cornish hens and a few sea scallops. Cooked the hens indirect at 350 for an hour, sprinkled with a lemon pepper seasoning and a few chunks of apple wood. Removed the setter and plopped the scallops on direct about 450 for 7 minutes. Next thing you know I had this picture of beauty on my plate ready to be consumed. It was outstanding! The hen was so tender and succulent. I love chicken on the egg but it will be hard to follow up a cornish hen with chicken!

The kids enjoy these. Everyone getting their own. But I end up eating their wings and drums anyway
(and pssst. A cornish hen actually is a chicken. Don't tell anyone!) -
Hahaha herbu thats exactly right...Redskip those are cheese grits and they went perfectly with the hens and scallops! Im afraid our friends up north probably wouldnt agree but they are a staple at most southern tables.

@chasgh. I agree, most Yanks (myself included) have only had grits at chain restaurants, which are pretty weak.
