CORNISH GAME HEN 22 OZ

This Cornish Game Hen (22 oz) is a small, whole poultry bird known for tender meat, mild flavor, and quick cooking time. Its compact size makes it well suited for individual servings or small meals, with a higher ratio of skin to meat than larger chickens, which supports moisture and browning during cooking.

Cornish hens are commonly prepared whole and benefit from simple seasoning and high-heat roasting.

How to Cook a Cornish Game Hen

Cornish hens are forgiving but benefit from proper heat:

• Roast whole at higher heat to achieve browned skin and moist meat

• Spatchcocking reduces cook time and improves evenness

• Season simply or use light marinades

• Rest briefly before serving to retain juices

Because of the size, overcooking is less likely than with larger birds, but timing still matters.
