Roasted Game Hen with Fluffy White Rice
Roasted Cornish Game Hen is the perfect substitute for a larger baked chicken, particularly when you are feeding one or two. It only takes a fraction of the amount of time to cook and nothing goes to waste.
I purchase these little hens frozen, they are very inexpensive about $4 or $5 for 4 hens from Sams Club. They need about 48 hours to thaw out in the refrigerator. Then, I simply rinsed it and dried it thoroughly, seasoned it with salt, pepper and poultry seasoning and placed on a baking sheet fitted with a rack. I roasted it for 45 minutes at 400 degrees and it was cooked perfectly, still moist and with a crispy delicious skin.
I cooked 1/2 cup of white rice in 1 cup of water seasoned with salt and butter. After bring the water to a boil, I reduced it to a simmer, covered the pot with a tight fitting lid, and cooked for 18 minutes. Let sit off the burner for 5 minutes before fluffing with fork and serving.
A delicious, homey, comforting dinner when served with a simple tossed salad.
