Parsley sprigs for garnish Calories per serving: 435 Fat grams per serving: 23 Approx. Cook Time: Cholesterol per serving: 105 Remove giblets and necks from Rock Cornish Hens; refrigerate to use in soup another day. Rinse hens with running cold water; pat dry with paper towels. Sprinkle inside body cavity with salt and pepper. Fold neck skin to back; lift wings toward neck, then fold them under back of hen so they stay in place. With string, tie legs and tail of each hen together. Place hens, breast-side up, on rack in roasting pan. In a cup, mix olive or salad oil, dried parsley flakes, dried thyme leaves, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper; brush hens with oil mixture. Roast hens in 350 degree oven about 1 1/4 hours, brushing hens occasionally with drippings in pan. Hens are done when legs can be moved up and down easily or when fork is inserted between leg and body cavity and juices that escape are not pink. Toward the end of roasting hens, in 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat, in hot margarine, cook carrots, Brussel sprouts and 1/2 tsp. salt until golden. Add 1/2 cup water; over high heat, heat to boiling. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and cook 5 to 10 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp, stirring occasionally; keep warm. When hens are done, discard strings. Place hens on warm large platter; keep warm. For gravy, remove rack from roasting pan; pour pan drippings into 1-cup measure; let drippings stand a few seconds until fat deparates
from meat juice. Skim 2 Tbsp. fat from drippings into 3-quart saucepan; skim and discard any remeining fat. In saucepan over high heat, in hot fat, cook mushrooms until tender and golden, stirring occasionally. Stir enough milk into meat juice to measuring to equal 1 cup; stir in flour, chicken bouillon and 1/2 tsp salt until blended. Add 1/2 cup water to roasting pan; stir to loosen brown bits from bottom of pan. Pour water and brown bits into mushrooms in saucepan. Add meat-juice mixture; cook over high heat, stirring constantly until mixture boils and thickens slightly; boil 1 minute. To serve, arrange vegetables on platter with Cornish hens.

Smoked Cornish Game Hens Recipe | How to Smoke Cornish Hens Malcom Reed HowToBBQRight

Cornish Game Hens or Rock Cornish hens as they’re sometimes called are young (usually less than 5 weeks old) chickens.
For my smoked Cornish game hens recipe I started with 4 Cornish hens. After an overnight thaw, open the packaging and remove any giblets or neck parts from the cavity and rinse the Cornish hens under cool water and pat dry with a paper towel.
We’ll cook these Cornish game hens whole on the smoker, and to add a little extra mass to help them cook evenly, we’ll stuff the cavity with a Boudin pork sausage (a type of sausage made with rice, meat, and a ton of spices).
Bust the sausage out of the casing and stuff about 1/4lb in each Cornish hen. If you can’t find boudin in your area you can substitute a different kind of sausage, dirty rice or use traditional bread stuffing.
Tie the Cornish game hens legs with a small length of butcher twine to keep the stuffing in the bird and tuck the wings tips behind the back.
Melt a stick of butter in a small bowl and brush the outside of each Cornish hen. The butter keeps the Cornish game hens skin moist and helps the hens to brown during cooking. It also gives the seasoning something to stick too on the Cornish game hens.
For the smoked Cornish game hens seasoning I use this recipe(it’s more than you will need for 4 hens)
-1 cup Salt
-½ cup Granulated Garlic
-¼ cup Black Pepper
-2 TBS Poultry Seasoning
-1 tea Cayenne Pepper
Sprinkle a little of the seasoning over each Cornish Hen. Let the Cornish game hens hang out on the counter while your smoker comes up to temperature.
For smoking Cornish Hens I run my pit at 300 degrees. You can use any smoker or grill (set up for indirect cooking); just hold the temperature in the same 300 degree range. I used my Yoder pellet smoker filled with BBQer’s Delight Cherry pellets. (Another good option would be pecan)
Once the cooker is up to temperature, place the Cornish Hens on the pit. These Cornish game hens smoked fairly quick and you don’t want to over shoot the final temp. Check on the Cornish game hens every 30 minutes and it’s best to insert a digital thermometer after an hour. The target temperature is 165 in the breast and once it starts climbing after an hour you need to really watch it.
Anytime you’re cooking a stuffed bird it’s important that the stuffing itself reaches a safe eating temperature of 165. So when the breast temperature until it reaches 165 make sure the stuffing is hitting the same temperature.
These Cornish hens hit 165 after 1 hour 50 min. The skin should be browned but not too dark. Remove the Cornish game hens from the smoker and tent with aluminum foil for at least 20 minutes. Leave the foil loose so that steam can escape while the Cornish game hens are resting.
You can serve these Cornish Hens whole or for a better presentation cut them in half so your guest can see the stuffing inside.
