Chile, why wrestle with a whole turkey when these mini birds do the same job without all the drama? Cornish hens are my go-to when I want dinner that feels dressed up but doesn’t leave me sweating over the oven. You’ll get that crispy skin, juicy inside, and all the “wow” factor at the table, without waiting hours. Coming from someone who’s been cooking Southern classics since I could hold a skillet, just know this recipe works and your hens won’t ever come out dry or bland.
