The Cornish Game Hen is a small breed of chicken that is often served as an individual portion. Despite its name, it is not a game bird, but rather a crossbreed between Cornish chickens and another breed, such as the White Plymouth Rock. This article will provide an overview of the Cornish Game Hen, including its history, preparation, and nutritional information.

History[edit]

The Cornish Game Hen originated in the United States in the early 20th century. It was developed by crossing Cornish chickens, known for their meaty and flavorful qualities, with other breeds to create a smaller-sized chicken. The goal was to produce a bird that would have tender and succulent meat, perfect for individual servings.

Preparation[edit]

Cornish Game Hens are typically prepared by roasting or grilling. Before cooking, they are often seasoned with herbs, spices, and marinades to enhance their flavor. Due to their small size, they cook relatively quickly compared to larger chickens. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C) to ensure they are fully cooked.
