How to make Grilled Herbed Poussins

Blend together herbs, oil, garlic, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoons pepper in a blender until finely chopped, then rub all over poussins.

Prepare grill for indirect-heat cooking over medium-hot charcoal (medium-high heat for gas); see Grilling Procedure .

Oil grill rack, then grill poussins, skin sides down first, directly over coals, turning once, until well browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Move poussins to area with no coals underneath and grill, covered, until just cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes more. Transfer poussins to a platter and let stand 10 minutes.
