A cornish hen is barely a meal for one person... that's why they are
typically sold in pairs, and it's mostly fat and bone... I find that a
cornish hen is a toddler's portion. A cornish hen contains about the
same meat as a roasting chicken's wing. The two of us put a good
dent in our 13 pounder... there's enough left for two more dinners for
us. We don't find poultry very filling.
