Turn the temperature down to 375, rotate the pan and baste the birds. Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes. Always use a cooking thermometer when cooking Cornish hens. Since it’s a smaller bird cooked at high heat, it can easily overcook – just like regular chicken. Measuring the internal temperature of the bird is the best way to guarantee a juicy and deliciously cooked hen.

These small birds with their tender meat and crisp skin are a holiday favorite. Cornish game hen can be purchased at almost any grocery store that sells poultry as well as butcher shops and specialty food stores. It is also possible to buy it from poultry farms that have a retail outlet or on websites of specialty meat and poultry purveyors. To make cleaning easy, line the baking sheet with foil. Allow the hens ice cream to rest for 10 minutes before carving or serving them.

What Are Cornish Hens?

The Cornish hens are rubbed with a simple dry rub and stuffed with citrus and garlic to help infuse some flavors into the meat. Cornish game hens are not actually specifically female birds. They are either female or male broiler chickens.

• I love serving these marinated game hens with saffron rice and a citrus salad.
• Season the cavity of each hen with salt and pepper and rub a tablespoon of softened butter liberally over the skin.
• You can add a few drops of browning sauce, like Kitchen Bouquet for a richer, deeper color if you’d like.
• Bake them for about 45 minutes to 1 hour in total.

To reheat, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place shredded chicken on a baking sheet covered in aluminum foil. Bake for about 15 minutes until heated through, and serve immediately.
