The idea of this was good, but for my husband and me it didn't work. I like a crispy skin on my cornish hens, so I don't think this was the recipe for us. I can say if you want REALLY tender meal for a stew or soup, this is definitely a great way to get some tender meat. Thanks for posting.

I am a Colorado ski bum at heart, but am currently stuck in Miami, FL of all places working on my Doctoral degree in physical therapy at UM. I can't wait until I graduate and can get back to the mountains! 2 more years, 2 more years...I love to cook and find it a great way to relax and slow down after classes and I can't wait until I have more free time to be able to do it. I have been in the Air National Guard with Colorado and Florida for the last four years and have been fortunate enough to taste many different foods and stretch my palate. I have lots of recipes waiting to be posted and when I finally get the time I will, so stand by!
