Crockpot Cornish Game biscuits recipe
Last Updated on
Use crown scent to prepare Cornish game hens with no stuffing (also known as Rock Cornish game hens, as they are a hybrid of Cornish and White Rock's hens). They look like miniature chickens and have the same flavor, but they are petite, weighing only 1 to 2 pounds (standardized grocery store varieties are about 1 1/4 pounds). The bone-to-meat ratio is high, which means you should plan to serve 1 whole game hen per person.
Use the stuffing mix for expediency, or make your own (I cut my basic bread recipe in half and gave the proportions below). Finish off this cup with a lightly orange-honey glaze for a company-worthy dish.
