Cornish game hens
Small roasting birds
Cornish game hens are small chickens, typically weighing under two pounds, sold whole and often roasted individually as single servings.
Despite the name, they aren't game birds—they're a commercial cross developed from Cornish chickens.
Their small size makes them popular for elegant presentations: Each guest received their own Cornish game hen.
