The bag should be submerged in cold tap water, changing the water every 30 minutes so it continues to thaw. Small packages of meat, poultry or seafood — about a pound — may thaw in an hour or less. A 3-to 4-pound package may take 2 to 3 hours. For whole turkeys, estimate about 30 minutes per pound. If thawed completely, the food must be cooked immediately.

This was unbelievable! I put some minced garlic in the cavity along with the lemons and rosemary.
It mad the breast meat super flavorful and tender. I used minced garlic instead of cloves, and it burnt during the roasting part so if you ar doing the minced garlic, you might want to add part of the wine and broth mixture so that it wont burn. The gravy was delicious, I did however add a little cornstarch to thicken it up.
I also did as someone suggested to put mushrooms into the juices the last 20 minutes of cooking. What a meal! Read More. Most helpful critical review NDwife Rating: 3 stars. This was my first time making any kind of whole poultry I know!
I definitely added some stock to the pan right away like other suggested and I'm glad I did - the garlic definitely would have burned.
I almost tripled the sauce for two hens and had a little bit of sauce left over. Next time I'll definitely season the inside of the bird before stuffing it with lemon and rosemary. Meat temp was a bit higher than expected because it does take less time with convection. Broiled for 1 minute for darker skin. This was my first shot at roasting Cornish hens and they turned out perfectly. Thank you for this lovely recipe.

Repeat for each hen. Put a quarter of a lemon in the cavity of each hen along with a clove of garlic and a sprig of fresh rosemary and thyme or herb of choice. Truss the hens by tying the wings and legs.
Place then hens on the rack of a roasting pan lined with aluminum foil, spacing them out so they are as far apart from each other as possible. This will enable their skins to get browned and crispy.
