oh yeah here you go ... :icondance :icondance :icondance
take some unsalted butter and mince some fresh sage then mush it all together and stuff it under the skin of the whole hens .then slice a lemon and tuck it inside the chicken....butter salt and pepper the skin and then..you can bake them in a 375 oven until done or even better use some apple chips and slowly grill them with lots of smoke and indirect heat...OMG these are my dads favorite!!!!......

I love to spread sugar free jam or jelly all over the hen after seasoning it with the salt, butter & pepper, sage, etc... the red jams work the best...raspberry, strawberry, RHUBARB!!, etc.

DH LOVES when I make cornish hen this way. In fact, this was the very first dinner I ever cooked for him when we were dating and I was trying to woo him with my cooking (i.e. fastest way to a man's heart is through his stomach, lol!!), well, we have been happily married for 14 years now!!!!

I made my hubby cornish hens once and you should have seen his face (this is a guy who can eat an entire roasted chicken at one meal) It was priceless.

Needless to say as good as they were, I won't be making them for him again. LOL he sulked like a little kid having to eat the 'pathetic little chickens'.

ROTFLMBO! John and I each get one but both of us only eat the white meat so Gizmo gets all the dark meat and everybody is happy! Your man is a big eater LOL.

We always used to fix cornish game hens on the grill when my hubby's kids came over on the weekends. I am not sure why but my step son started calling them B**ch chickens... the name stuck and thats what we all call them now. lol :smackhead

Ana I love your proverb!!!!! great!!!!

and the idea they are ***** chickens that is hysterical!!!!

I love mindys idea of the jelly on the chicken unsweetened not splenda flavored right? just the sugar free you can make with Pomonas???

[Mindykins]

I think so Nursey, though the ones sweetened with Splenda are ok too if you can't find unsweetened....Oh yeah, Orange or Apricot Marmalade are AWESOME on the ***** chickens!!!!!!!!! (guess made this way we can call them bitchin' chickens, LOL!!!)
