Cooking times. Cornish hen vs full size

I've never cooked a cornish hen before. I have a recipe for full sized chicken pieces calling for 18 minutes on med heat, flipping, then 2 minutes on low "until done". How much do you think I can reduce my cooking time by on a spatchcocked cornish hen? Half as thick, so half the time? I'm still going to check the temp, but I don't want to disturb it during that initial cooking time before the flip.
