- 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 3 tablespoons chile-garlic sauce
- 2 tablespoons dark sesame oil
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 8 quail, dressed (or 4 Cornish hens)
- 1 (14 1/2 ounce) can chicken broth

Instructions
- Combine first 6 ingredients in a shallow dish; add quail. Cover and chill for 30 minutes, turning occasionally.

- Prepare fire by piling charcoal or lava rocks on one side of grill, leaving the other side empty. Place rack on grill. Arrange quail over empty side; grill, covered with grill lid, 30 minutes or until done (cooking time for hens will be about 45 to 50 minutes).

- Whisk together cornstarch and reserved chicken broth until smooth. Whisk into marinade mixture; boil, whisking constantly, for one minute.
