How to Cook Cornish Game Hen (7 Steps)
When cooking poultry, such as a Cornish game hen, it's essential to cook the bird thoroughly. Undercooked poultry can spread disease and make people ill.
Things You'll Need
- Oven
- Cornish game hen
- Roasting pan
- Aluminum foil
- Toothpick
- Tongs
- Kitchen thermometer
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Place the Cornish game hens with the breast sides up in a roasting pan. Cover the roasting pan with aluminum foil.
-
Put the roasting pan in the preheated oven and cook the Cornish game hens for approximately one hour or until done.
-
Use a toothpick to poke a thigh of one of the Cornish game hens and look at the juices that come out. If the juices run clear (and not pink), the Cornish game hens are done.
-
Use tongs to pick up a leg or a wing. When fully cooked, the legs or wings should move around easily, or feel as if they could easily break off.
-
Pick up a Cornish game hen with a pair of tongs. Look at the underside of the bird to see if the Cornish game hen appears to be cooked through.
-
Continue cooking the Cornish game hens if they aren't fully cooked. Repeat Steps four through six to check for doneness.
