Create the spice mixture: Combine onion powder, granulated garlic, Jacobson’s salt, and ground ginger.

Remove the hens from the packaging; remove any giblets from each cavity and pat them dry with a paper towel. Place 4-5 sprigs of fresh thyme into each cavity, along with 1 orange wedge.

Sprinkle each bird with the spice mixture, and then rub with olive oil. Tie the legs together with butchers twine. Place the Game hens on the grill and cook for 20 minutes.
