Hazırlanışı

Adım adım

1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Yaklaşık 5 dk.
Aşçının notu: Ensure the oven rack is in the middle position for even roasting.
2
In a large bowl, combine the chopped onion, apple, celery, bread cubes, melted butter, dried sage, and dried thyme.
Yaklaşık 5 dk.
3
Add the salt and black pepper intended for the stuffing, and toss everything together until well combined.
Yaklaşık 1 dk.
Aşçının notu: Mix gently to avoid crushing the bread cubes too much.
4
Pat the Cornish hens dry inside and out with paper towels.
Yaklaşık 2 dk.
Aşçının notu: Drying the skin helps it become crispy during roasting.
5
Loosely fill the cavity of each hen with the stuffing mixture.
Yaklaşık 3 dk.
Aşçının notu: Do not pack the stuffing tightly, as it will expand during cooking.
6
Rub the outside of both hens with the olive oil.
Yaklaşık 2 dk.
7
Season the exterior of the hens with the salt and black pepper from the 'hen seasoning' group.
Yaklaşık 1 dk.
8
Place the hens breast-side up in a small roasting pan or baking dish.
Yaklaşık 1 dk.
Aşçının notu: You can tie the legs together with kitchen twine for a neater presentation, but it's not required.
9
Roast for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the skin is golden brown and a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh reads 165°F (74°C).
Yaklaşık 50 dk.
Aşçının notu: The juices should run clear when the thigh is pierced with a knife.
10
Remove the hens from the oven and let them rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes before carving.
Yaklaşık 10 dk.
Aşçının notu: Resting allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in more tender meat.
11
Carve each hen in half lengthwise to create four servings.
