I bought them because they were "cute".. Now what do I do with them??

Two cornish game hens, that is..

What can I do with them? Pretty much the same thing I would do with a chicken? Can I cook them in a crock pot - or would the oven be better?

I thought it would be a nice chnage, but now I'm not so sure of how to prepare them or if I should put some kind of glaze or sauce on them..

I'm tired of eating the same ol - same ol..

I'm sorry, but the title and the subject together made me LOL!

I don't have any advice on how to cook them though.

Yep, cook them like chicken. And they taste like chicken!

Seriously, they cook faster than a standard roaster, and you really don't need to stuff them. You can also split them in halp and grill them on the gas or charcoal grill. I usually serve them with rice pilaf. And veggies and salad, of course.

They are cute, for sure.

I was wondering if I could do that! Do you put any kind of glaze or sauce on them?

We love cornish hens !!

Season them and rub with butter just like preparing a chicken to oven roast. I always cover mine, and then uncover for the last 15-20 mins of cooking time to brown the skin.

I usually serve mashed potatoes, carrots and cranberry sauce with mine.

Enjoy!

"Cute" Cornish Game Hens . You can roast them like a regular chicken-put some black pepper and garlic salt on them and chop up some potatoes, onions, celery, and carrots to roast along with them.
My husband likes to add a mixture of lemon grass, garlic, ginger, oyster sauce, and keffer lime leaves then steaming them in foil. He then adds in cabbage and sometime long beans and we use a homemade tomato sauce.
