CORNISH HENS WITH LEMON AND HERBS



Cornish Hens with Lemon and Herbs image

For more-generous portions, cook one hen per person. If you do, use two roasting pans, and double the other ingredients.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Healthy Recipes     Gluten-Free Recipes

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 Cornish hens (about 1 3/4 pounds each), room temperature, rinsed well and patted dry
1 bunch fresh thyme (about 1/2 ounce), plus more for garnish
2 lemons, halved, plus wedges for serving
1/4 cup loosely packed fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place hens in a roasting pan, breast sides up. Place 2 thyme sprigs and 1 lemon half in cavity of each hen. Loosen skin from breast, and place remaining thyme and the parsley underneath. Squeeze remaining lemon halves over hens. Rub butter all over hens. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  • Roast hens, rotating pan halfway through, until skin turns golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 180 degrees, 45 to 50 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes. Cut hens in half lengthwise. Garnish with thyme sprigs, and serve with lemon wedges.

ROASTED ORANGE-TARRAGON CORNISH HENS



Roasted Orange-Tarragon Cornish Hens image

Cornish hens make for a beautiful presentation and are a great alternative to turkey when you're only expecting a small gathering. You can typically find them in the frozen section of your grocery store. Plan on 1 per person for a generous serving, or split in half if you're planning on serving plenty of sides.

Time 2h20m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 Cornish hens, thawed
1 orange, zested and juiced
1 teaspoon dried tarragon
1 clove garlic, minced
½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
¼ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
kitchen twine

Steps:

  • Remove and discard giblet, if any. Rinse hens inside and out and pat dry. Loosen skin from the breasts and place hens in a large resealable plastic bag.
  • Whisk orange juice, orange zest, tarragon, garlic, mustard, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl. Whisking continually, slowly drizzle in olive oil until combined. Pour marinade over the hens in the bag, making sure to get some under the skin. Seal bag and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  • Remove hens from the bag, letting excess marinade drip off; pour remaining marinade into a small saucepan and set aside. Place hens in a small roasting pan and season with salt and pepper. Tie legs together with kitchen twine and tuck wing tips underneath.
  • Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Continue cooking, basting with pan juices every 10 to 15 minutes, until hens are golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), 25 to 30 minutes more.
  • Transfer hens to a serving plate, pouring any cavity juices back into the roasting pan. Tent with aluminum foil and keep warm.
  • Scrape pan juices and pour through a strainer into the saucepan with the reserved marinade. Bring to a boil and simmer 5 minutes, whisking occasionally. Season sauce with salt and pepper, if necessary.
  • Serve Cornish hens whole or cut in half. Spoon pan sauce over hens to serve.

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.
