Roasted Cornish Hens was one of my parents’ favorite meals. Often, as Shabbat approaches, I am reminded of all the Friday night dinners my parents ate at my table. My Mother liked Roasted Cornish Hens because they are small; and my Father liked them because they have both dark and light meat together. He was a dark meat lover; always telling me that it was the dark meat that was more moist and had more flavor. With the hens, he had both. I can still see him in my mind’s eye sitting at the table enjoying the hens, Individual Potato Kugels and vegetables while staring at his great grandchildren. Looking at them made everything taste even more delicious.
Prep time: 60 minutes
Note: Officially, Rock Cornish Hens are about one pound each. Each hen could serve one person. Cornish Hens are generally about two pounds. I cut the larger hens in half or even quarters.
