So I've had this sitting in my freezer for a couple months now and I've finally decided to do something with it. I was thinking of throwing it in the slow cooker with maybe some sauce, onion, and some other random things. Do you guys have any experience with Cornish hen? What should I do?

Put a stick of butter and some ice cubes inside it

Then drop it directly into a deep fryer while it's still frozen

It's been defrosted for a bit now so I don't know if that'll work. I will keep that in mind if I ever decide to have another go at it. Sounds interesting.

I threw an ice cube into hot oil as a teenager. It was definitely interesting.

I've decided to roast it in the oven with ample seasoning for 6-8 hrs at the advice of a relative who is a much more talented chef than I. So I'll try that and see what happens. I'll leave the deep frier bombs for another time.

What the fuck?

Just spatchcock and roast at high heat (at least 400F) for an hour. Honestly probably not even that long since it's a game hen. You got a temperature prove?

>>14066573
Thinking back, the suggestion of 6-8 hours seemed off for a small game hen so at the three hour mark I checked on it and the whole thing is perfectly cooked and juicy with no pink area to be found. Thanks /ck/, you saved my chicken.

With this the hen is finished. It ended up not needing as much time as I was initially led to believe which is unsurprising given its size. I sampled some and it tastes absolutely divine, I honestly can't believe I made this given that I'm not a good cook. I'm quite proud of it and will certainly try this again sometime.

Thanks OP, I saw your thread last night and it was the inspiration I needed. Hope your bird turns out good!

It refers to a breed of chicken, not it's place of origin.

It's a little small and lean for the slow cooker, but it could work. I like to roast them quickly in a hot oven, especially spatchcocked. Although a slow cooker could work fine, too.
