ROAST

Roasting Cornish Hens

METHOD

1.Rub melted butter all over the hen. Lightly grease the drip tray and insert the roasting pan to catch the drippings. Season the hens with salt and pepper. Place skin side up.

2.Set the wire rack in the bottom height position. Turn the function dial until the indicator on the LCD screen points to the ROAST function.

3.Set the temperature to 190˚C/ 375˚F with convection turned on. Set the timer for 30 minutes. Press the START/ CANCEL button to activate.

4.Roast the chicken for 30 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh (not near the bone) registers 76˚C/170˚F.

5.For a crispier skin, brush 2 tablespoons of melted butter on the skin and broil at 205˚C/ 400˚F for 1-2 minutes, taking care not to burn the skin.

Serve with wedges of lemon, ruby red grapefruit and pan drippings.

TIP

Cornish hens have a prominent breast and good covering of meat. Originated in Cornwell but bread mainly in USA, available in gourmet butchers or Deli’s. If not available use 2 x small chickens.
