FAQ

Do you have to remove anything from a Cornish hen before cooking?

Remove giblet bag from cavity and reserve for making sauces, etc. Heavily brining or marinating product is unnecessary as Cornish birds are small and meat is quite succulent. Source: “The Big Thaw — Safe Defrosting Methods for Consumers,” USDA.

What is the best way to eat Cornish hens?

These Cornish hens are best roasted at high temperatures in the oven for flavor and ease. There are many ways to enhance the flavor of these by stuffing them or coating them in a dry rub seasoning. I like to serve these for small-gathering holidays or special events when I don’t want to cook a whole turkey.

How many Cornish hens can I cook at once?

Lay a wire rack in the bottom of a big roasting pan and place 6 Cornish game hens on it. If you don’t have a wire rack that fits the pan, bunch up a few pieces of aluminum foil and place these on the bottom of the pan. You can easily cut this recipe in half or a third if you only want to make 2 or 3 hens.

Should Cornish hens be at room temperature before cooking?

Half an hour before you plan to cook, bring the chickens to room temperature. Using butcher’s twine, tie the chicken legs together at the ankles. Cover the wing tips with aluminum foil to prevent burning.
