To grill, marinate in a mixture of orange juice, orange liqueur, fresh ginger, lemon juice and garlic. Remove hen halves, and boil sauce to a syrup.
Combine the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and herbs in a small bowl. Brush hens with olive oil mixture.

Cut hens in half lengthwise and arrange two halves on each plate.
