Cooking Cornish Game Hens
Now, if you're going to use a sorry excuse about not having an instant-read thermometer, we'll tell you to roast a 1-3/4-lb. bird at 400°F (205°C) for 35 to 40 minutes. A smaller hen, 1-1/2 pounds or less will take 25 to 30 minutes. You should still make sure that the juices run clear. If you want to dress the bird up a bit before popping it into the oven, you could rub it with a mixture of dried thyme, salt, and pepper (perhaps a teaspoon each), brush the skin with a couple tablespoons of melted butter, and/or put a sprig of fresh thyme or rosemary in the cavity for added flavor. And you absolutely should get an instant-read thermometer. Ovens vary, birds and roasts and loaves of bread vary, and the surest way to know they're done is with a thermometer. Considering how useful they are, the cost is negligible. |
