Stuffed, Roasted Cornish game hens from The Settlement Cookbook

Delicious!! Feels like a holiday dinner every time. :hungry

just amazing!! (L)

Have made game hens this way as long as I can remember. Had a hankerin' for 'em tonight and thought it was time to share with y'all. Also makes a great alternative to a turkey for a small group on Thanksgiving.

I wanted to incorporate the flavors of wild fruits, nuts, and syrups into a juicy well done hen.

Decided to not do turkey for the holiday this year so Cornish hens it was.

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.

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.

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

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.

Yummy 😋!

Oh so yummy! My husband and I eat one each! :whistle

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.

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.

Those mini-chickens have a decent amount of meat for their size and great flavor.

An excellent meal. :hungry

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

If patient with them, these are wonderfully delicious, crispy, garlicky, lemony and moist game hens. These are served with a light drizzle of a lemon - white wine reduction as well. Great work kiddos!

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.

Baking a small cornish hen with truffle zest stuffing in a fluffy crust makes it look and taste like you hunted for a wild pheasant to serve as the center piece for a festive dinner.

I cooked a couple of Cornish Hens last night. I had some wraps that were on their way out and decided to utilize them like this. Few free to use any left over items from your summer barbecues. Pork, Beef, etc.#Turf #Summer
