Instructions
Season Cornish hens with granulated onion, garlic powder, chili powder, black pepper and salt; rub all over then place in a large ziplock bag and let sit for about 4 hours, preferably overnight.
Remove the Cornish hens from the fridge and let stand until it comes to room temperature, about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, place all the ingredients for the glaze in a small pot and bring to a boil. Use a spoon to break up the guava pieces. Simmer on low for about 15 minutes until the mixture has thickened a little.
On a preheated grill, place the chicken skin side down over direct heat and grill for about 5 minutes, until the skin is browned but not burnt. Flip the Cornish hens and cook over indirect heat until done or about 20 minutes. Next glazed the Cornish hen and cook for an additional minute. Place on a serving tray, and serve warm.

Tips: To cut the Cornish hens in half, using a sharp knife or kitchen shears cut along the back bone. Then cut down the middle of the breast bone and this should give 2 even pieces. When grilling always have one side of the grill that has no coals underneath. It is important to have a side with direct heat (over the coals) and indirect heat (no coals underneath). If the meat is burning, move it away from the direct heat over to the section where there are no coals for it to continue cooking. Any glazes that contain sugar will burn very quickly so it is best to add it in the last 5 minutes of cooking.
