Crispy Roasted Cornish Hen
This crispy roasted Cornish hen is super easy to make. Just marinade the birds and roast them. You can do it in the oven or air fryer. I included both of the methods in this video. These little chickens are juice, tender, and much quicker to cook, which is a different option to serve for Thanksgiving in case you don’t want to deal with a huge turkey.
This recipe is actually a simplified version of the Cantonese roasted pigeons. I wasn’t able to buy pigeons around where I live, but luckily, the Cornish hen is perfect because the size is similar. In fact, this is a single-serving size bird, maybe two if you have a small appetite. That makes it easy to times the number of people you gonna serve and decide how many cornish hens you want to cook.
