This Cornish Game Hen (22 oz) is a small, whole poultry bird known for tender meat, mild flavor, and quick cooking time. Its compact size makes it well suited for individual servings or small meals, with a higher ratio of skin to meat than larger chickens, which supports moisture and browning during cooking. Cornish hens are commonly prepared whole and benefit from simple seasoning and high-heat roasting.
