2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper
3 teaspoons thyme
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1 stalk celery medium chop
1 carrot medium chop
1 small onion medium chop
2 cloves garlic minced
1 orange medium chop with peeling on
3 cups fresh cranberries
1 cup fresh orange juice with heavy pulp
- Thoroughly wash the Cornish Game Hen's. Rub the skin with the extra virgin olive oil.
- Chop the celery, onion, garlic, carrot and orange then sprinkle them with half the season's. Stuff the cavity of the Hen's with the vegetable and orange mix. Sprinkle the Hen's with the other half of the season's.
- Place the Hen's in a baking or roasting pan, pour the fresh cranberries around the Hen's. Pour the fresh orange juice over the Hen's and the fresh cranberries.
- Cover the baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees 1 hour, then remove the cover.
- Bake uncovered at 400 degrees for 20 minutes until the Hen's are browned.
I served the Hens with a wonderful rice and cranberry dressing. I will post the rice and cranberry dressing on Monday so be sure and come back and get that recipe.(Link to Cranberry Rice Dressing) You will want to have it for your holiday recipe collection. I hope you have a wonderful week end, see you soon.
Peace and Joy

I've never even had a cornish hen! This looks wonderful with the cranberries and the orange glaze! You're saving some for me, right?
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a very young bride (that would be a million years ago) I used to make cornish hens all the time. They were easy and at the time economical..I need to try your recipe and surprise my husband...I wonder if he will remember.
ReplyDeleteThese look so good! I've never made a cornish hen before so I'm looking forward to trying it out.
ReplyDeleteThis looks delicious! I have never tried cooking hens with cranberries, fresh cranberries are really expensive and are not easy to find. Perhaps I could use the frozen ones instead! Thank you for sharing this lovely recipe.
ReplyDeleteWow Mom you've done it again! These look amazing. You know how I don't really like to cook, but as usual you are an inspiration. I'm going to try these this week. Thank goodness for Central Market and Whole Foods! :) Don't forget the rice recipe! Love you mucho!

I've never tried a cornish game hen. I wish I could try yours especially with that orange glaze. Hope you will be posting your yeast roll recipe too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great looking dinner! I have not prepared many of these little hens, but this needs to be cooked, Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThis looks good I love cornish hens . You make me proud to be a Texan! Please stop by and link up with me.
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious! I was surprised to see the word "Cornish" used so far afield - I'm not sure if it is actually a breed of hen from Cornwall or not and google seems to be failing me at the moment hehe.
ReplyDeleteEither way, thanks for sharing the recipe :)
Oh my heavens! This is my first time to your site and I think I would love for you to adopt me! I'm just down the road in Austin. Your menu for the week sounds devine. I love it and I will think of you all week with utter jealousy! :-)
ReplyDeleteSuch a yummy looking dish! Thanks for linking up for Friday Favorites! Hope you'll link up with us again this week!
ReplyDeleteMiz Helen! You are SUCH a tease! I would totally LOVE some of your fresh collards and chard. I tell everyone, I know I am strange, but I adore greens more than chocolate. Now of course, If you dont put them in bacon grease, well, leave them on the plate! lol Your game hens look lovely and I hope you have some wonderful day trips. Sometimes those mini vacations from housework are such a joy! all the best and thank you so much for sharing on the hearth and soul hop this week! Alex
