This premium specialty meat offers home cooks and professional chefs alike a smaller, more tender alternative to traditional chicken. Each whole Cornish hen is carefully raised without antibiotics, ensuring you're bringing clean, quality protein to your family's meals while supporting responsible farming practices. Perdue has been a trusted poultry provider for generations, known for their commitment to raising flavorful birds with rigorous safety standards. This whole Cornish hen weighs approximately two to three pounds, making it the ideal size for individual or small family servings. The meat is remarkably tender and juicy with a delicate flavor that takes beautifully to various cooking methods. Whether you're preparing a romantic dinner for two or hosting an intimate gathering, one hen per person creates an elegant presentation that impresses guests. The smaller size also means faster, more even cooking compared to larger whole chickens. Roasting is the classic preparation method, requiring just 45 to 60 minutes in a preheated oven with your favorite herbs and vegetables. For restaurant-quality results, try butterflying the bird and pan-roasting it with garlic, lemon, and fresh thyme. Cornish hens also excel when spatchcocked and grilled, glazed with honey and Dijon mustard, or seasoned with international flavors like Mediterranean herbs, Asian ginger-soy marinades, or Latin cilantro-lime rubs. Pair your cooked hen with wild rice pilaf, roasted root vegetables, or creamy mashed potatoes for a complete meal. This versatile specialty meat is equally suited to French bistro classics, coastal seafood-inspired dishes, or contemporary fusion cuisine, making it an excellent choice for adventurous home cooks seeking premium quality poultry.
