The perfect dish for Sunday dinner, Cornish hens slow roast in a Dutch oven. Dry white wine, tomatoes, garlic and herbs form a delicious broth that can be served overtop. Enjoy with rice or mashed potatoes.

The perfect harvest-time main course! Here, Cornish hens are slow roasted with apple juice and apple slices for a sweet and savory flavor. Dripping from the pan, plus white wine, make a delicious sauce to serve overtop.

In this easy dinner recipe, crispy, oven-roasted Cornish hens are placed atop a bed of wild rice. A rich and creamy bacon and wild mushroom gravy, drizzled overtop, makes this dish a meal to remember.

This zesty fresh-from-the-garden dish is the perfect main course to serve at an end-of-summer dinner party. To save time, use store-bought pesto sauce. And serve with a fresh garden salad, couscous and your favorite dry white wine.

The cozy combination of maple and bourbon is a timeless classic! Sweet and bold flavors balance each other out, and create a perfectly juicy Cornish hen. If you have never made Cornish hens before, it is incredibly easy! The hens taste exactly like the chicken you’re used to, but they cook faster and are perfect for individual servings. The kids always get a kick out of getting their “very own chicken!” for the first time, too. Serve these hens over a bed of rice, with a simple salad or both. If you have any leftovers, you can shred the meat and include it in delicious sandwiches, soups or over salads throughout the week! Do not worry about including bourbon in your recipe if you have children: All alcohol will cook off while the hens are baking. But, you can always leave it out, and still have a juicy, flavorful meal!

Just like the drink, this tender, crispy Cornish hen recipe includes all the flavors of a scrumptious Bloody Mary, from spicy notes of horseradish and Worcestershire to dill and tomato. While this recipe suggests topping cooked hens with Bloody Mary sauce, you can of course decide to coat the entire hen with it before baking. Just be sure to cover the hen to avoid charring the tomato. Feel free to add a spin from your favorite Bloody Mary recipe, like a squeeze of lime or pinch of celery salt, to this recipe. This simple sheet pan meal is a filling, all-in-one dish that cooks in just 30 minutes.
