CORNISH HENS



Cornish Hens image

I like this recipe for Cornish hens because it's easy to do and a delicious entrée for two. The basting ingredients result in a beautifully browned hen, sealing in the juices so that it is moist, tender and quite flavorful.

THIS ENTREE makes an ordinary day special. Whenever I cook Cornish hens for my husband and me, it stirs up warm memories of family times around the holiday dinner table. I bake the extra stuffing separately so we're sure to have enough. -Nancy Aubrey, Ruidoso, New Mexico

TASTY TARRAGON CORNISH GAME HENS



Tasty Tarragon Cornish Game Hens image

This is a very tasty way to prepare cornish hens. It's another family favorite we've served for years. Tarragon goes so well with poultry.

Provided by Chef Fredo

Categories     Poultry

Time 1h

Yield 1 hen, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon dried tarragon
1 garlic clove
garlic salt
olive oil (or other oil)
3/4 cup butter
3/4 cup dry white wine (or chicken stock)
1 tablespoon dried tarragon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  • Make basting sauce by melting butter in small sauce pan and stirring in wine (or broth) and tarrgon.
  • Sprinkle inside of each hen with salt, pepper, tarragon, and garlic.
  • Lightly coat outside of hen with olive (or other) oil.
  • Liberally sprinkle outside of hen with garlic salt.
  • Tie hen legs together if possible (I've also made these without doing this step).
  • Place hens in oven.
  • Let hens cook about 15 minutes before starting to use the basting sauce. After each basting, I will occasionally sprinkle more garlic salt over the hens.
  • Continue to baste hens every 15 minutes or so until done. If hen wings or top start to darken too much, cover those areas with foil.
  • When hens have finished cooking, remove to serving platter.
  • optional - I place the strained drippings in a bowl (skimming off some of the butter) and use this as a 'gravy' for the hens and any suitable rice/potato dish that may accompany them.
  • Use your meat thermometer to determine doneness as it varies according to hen weight.
