Holy cow! Or, should I say, "Holy Cornish Hens"?!Cornish Hens are a really fun, easy dinner idea that looks fancy and tastes delicious. Serve these little birds when you "want something different" but don't want to invest an insane amount of time into something too involved.After your initial prep work, it's hands off.

I randomly saw these at the grocery store and they were very cheap and surprisingly almost better than roasted chicken.

These Cornish Hens were on sale. We live in a world where people think that boneless chicken breasts are hatched from eggs. I thought I’d throw these on my makeshift grill and enjoy my #summer day. Straightforward and easy.#Summer #Turf
