Un-Stuffed Cornish Hen

Submitted by MrMansMrs

"I've always loved when my mother made cornish hens. These can be quite flavorful and juicy. A hen can be stuffed with any side (rice, corn, stuffing, etc.) of your choice. I usually leave the hen un-stuffed and place sides on the plate to complete the dish."
