CORNISH HENS

Heather's Rosemary Citrus Cornish Hens

This recipe does just as well with a full chicken as it does with Cornish hens. The meat is tender and flavorful, and absolutely the best I've ever had! Don't leave the hens in the brine for too long, or the meat will be too salty.

Chef John's Grilled Game Hens

The idea for these grilled game hens is borrowed from my highly successful Cornell chicken experiments, and uses a similar acid/salt/oil/egg concoction. This time the part of egg is played by mayo. Needless to say, you can season this a million ways and use any combination of hot chilies, but the little kick the habanero adds is really nice.

Herb-Roasted Cornish Hens

Roasted with lemon, garlic, onion and a medley of fresh herbs, this is sure to please anytime or for special occasions.

Seasoned Cornish Hens

My father taught me how to make this quick and easy Cornish hen recipe for four. We usually eat this dish with rice and steamed green beans. Look for oyster sauce at your local grocery store in the Asian food department.
