Cornish Game Hen with Skin, Cooked

Cornish Game Hen with Skin, Cooked

EverydayCooked

Cornish game hen is a young, small-breed chicken typically harvested at 4-6 weeks old, providing a single-serving portion of tender dark and white meat. When cooked with the skin on—commonly through roasting or grilling—it develops a crispy exterior while retaining moist flesh, though the skin significantly increases saturated fat content compared to skinless poultry. This preparation offers concentrated poultry flavor favored in gourmet contexts, but requires mindful portioning due to its calorie density from both natural fats and common butter-based basting techniques.
