CORNISH HENS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Place the sliced onion in the bottom of a roasting pan. Remove the giblets from the hens, and rinse them inside and out. Remove any excess fat and leftover pinfeathers and pat the outsides dry. Place the hens on top of the sliced onion.
- Pack the cavities of the hens with the cornbread stuffing.
- Tie the legs together with kitchen string and tuck the wing tips under the body of the hens. Rub the hens with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Roast the hens for 30 minutes, or until the juices run clear when you cut between a leg and thigh.
- Melt the butter in a large saute pan. Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes over medium-low heat, until translucent. Break the cornbread into pieces and place the pieces in a large bowl. Add the onion mixture to the cornbread. Add the celery, chicken stock, parsley, salt and pepper, and mix together.

CORNISH HENS WITH RICE PILAF
A recipe we've enjoyed for years. All you need is a salad and you've got a great meal. Note that one bird serves two people. We are old dudes, so if you have younger, heartier appetites you may want to adjust the recipe accordingly----both the hens and the pilaf.

CORNISH GAME HENS AND RICE BAKE
This recipe makes a nice dinner and is from The Pillsbury Family Kitchens' Cookbook. I use 1 can (10 3/4 ounces) chicken broth and enough water to make 2 cups (and heat it in microwave) in place of water and bouillon cubes. This recipe can also be used with quartered or cut up frying chicken. I have only made it with the cornish hens.
