IntroductionSkip To The Recipe
Cornish hen are a great alternative to chicken. Smaller in size from his counterpart the chicken. Always testy and furthermore faster to cook.
Always available at our local grocery store, I just could not pass up the opportunity to purchase them. Truth to be known, I always have a couple in the freezer. You never know when your friends stop by and an impromptu dinner will unfold.
Cornish hen, to me, almost always calls for wild rice. However, a nice crisp salad or any roasted vegetables. Gratins of potatoes or roasted potatoes are perfect as well.
The recipe that I am sharing with you, created itself as I was preparing it. The result was pure and simple, and absolutely delicious. Most of all my 8 years old ate 3/4 of the Cornish hen, so that should tell you something.
