Cornish Hens are a gourmet dinner you can easily make at home. This recipe will be your secret weapon for any occasion you want to celebrate with a special, yet totally easy meal. There’s no reason to feel intimidated, this is something any home cook can make. Cranberry and orange juices are combined in a cran-orange glaze for the little bird, a fantastic combination.
Where to find? You can find Tyson® Premium Cornish Hens in the frozen meat section. They are sold in individually wrapped bags which is super convenient. Use the product locator to find a store near you that sells them. I bought mine at Smith’s.
How many people does it serve? You can serve up to 2 people per hen, but you can also serve an entire hen per person for the presentation. If serving two, use a sharp butcher knife to cut the hen into two halves and you’ll still have a beautiful presentation. They take 2-3 days to thaw in the fridge.
If you use all of the glaze on the hens, what do you baste it with? Should you make additional glaze?
The liquids collect in the bottom of the pan along with the natural juices from the hen. You use a baster to suck up these juices and pour them back over the cooking meat.
