How To Clean Cornish Hens
Hi gang!
I purchased a 2-pack of Tyson frozen cornish hens. It says to clean them before cooking. I"ve never prepared them before. How exactly do I clean them? Thanks! Lou |

I give 'em a good rinse, inside and out, with cold water.

I often rub the hen, inside and out, with butter, salt, pepper, and crumbled dried rosemary or chopped fresh rosemary, and put a small onion (or piece) in the cavity. If you'd prefer a sweet glaze, melted orange marmalade and butter is a nice option. In that case, just use butter, salt, and pepper to rub the hen - no herbs. Wayne |

I think you could also use poultry seasoning. but take others advice over mine. I would also suggest you ask about cooking tempt and time. and dont forget what they said about handling raw poultry. wash your hands and anything that might have been dripped on while washing. I put all my seasonings in small containers so I dont have to keep washing my hands between seasonings. was everything you touch and that the poultry touches. sometimes while washing I have noticed that the chicken will touch the top of the foucet. and dont stick a nife in the mayo jar that may have raw poultry on it. ( i actually seen someone do that ) I dont know what others here do but I treat all raw meat the same. it may not be as bad as poultry but im sure it can cause germs.

How exactly >do I clean > them? > > Thanks! > > Lou I just wash them really well with water, removing any pin feathers. I then remove the kidneys that are along the back end of the back bone - in from the tail. Otherwise the meat in that area is gamy. I rub with oil and spices (pepper, garlic and onion powder, chili powder, or some other spices that seem good) put in a pan with about 3/4 inch of water, and roast at 325 - start at 400 - roast unclovered for 20 minutes, cover the pan with foil (vented slightly) and roast at 325 for about an hour. During the last half hour of cooking, I baste them every 20 mintes or so. -L. |
