- 1
Preheat oven to 350
- 2
Rinse birds with cold water and place on baking tray
- 3
To make stuffing, in mixing bowl rip bread into small cruton sized pieces. Chop celery and onion in small pieces. Mix. Add salt, pepper, and sage to taste. Mix.

Stuff game hens with stuffing
- 5
Baste birds with melted butter
- 6
Season birds like you would a whole chicken or turkey. I usually season with garlic powder, season salt, black pepper, and red chili powder. Or whatever's in the cupboard :)
- 7
Cook birds for 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes if no stuffing. If birds are stuffed increase cooking time 15-20 minutes. Baste birds with melted butter 2-3 more times while cooking, roughly every 20-30 minutes. When juices run clear at bottom of bird its done, or just use a cooking thermometer.

Cut whole birds in half with a large and sharp knife. Serve half a bird with your favorite side dishes. I always prefer mashed potatoes and gravy made from the birds drippings and any veggie of choice. Enjoy!!

Cornish Game Hens with Rosemary, Garlic, and Lemon.
This has become a favorite recipe. the chicken is always very most and tender, garlic and rosemary very aromatic and nicely counter balanced by the tangy lemon. the roasted whole cloves of garlic are a treat all their own.

Small birds with an international flare! This recipe sounds sophisticated but is easy and takes just about 25 minutes of actual work in the kitchen. But to allow 60 minutes of oven time, it needs to be started 80-90 minutes ahead of meal time.

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

Fool proof, cast iron pan, juicy tasty dinner. The secret is cutting the bird in equal pieces, so all pieces get ready at fifteen minutes per side. Great recipe if you have never cooked before, or are in a hurry. Putting the skillet in the oven assures perfect results every time.
Roasted Cornish Hens over French Breads with a Rich Creamy Top
Some have called this "million dollar chicken", but I don't like that moniker. Cornish hens are roasted over top of sliced baguette in a Dutch oven to catch all the juices, turning the bread into a sort of dressing. The creamy topping and sauce to the chicken is tart and rich and provides a wonderful contrast. 1 Cornish hen per person if hungry or 1/2 a hen per person.
California Farm Wild Rice Sage Stuffed Cornish Hens
Cornish hens are young and most tender, but bland. The special flavors and aromas of native wild rice pilaf and sage are stuffed in this crust baked whole cornish hen, making them taste like quail or pheasant delicacies.A cornish hen is a small bird, slightly over one pound each, a cross between a cornish heritage breed and a plymouth rock chicken, bred for their tender breast meat. The wild rice and sage and raisins give flavor to the breast meat, the crust locks in the juiciness.Serve on bed of wild rice pilaf, recipe below.
