Apple-raisin stuffed Cornish game hens
Individual hens make an elegant, portion-controlled alternative to a whole roast bird — and the apple-raisin stuffing keeps them moist through roasting.
You'll need
- 4 Cornish game hens
- 2 apples, diced
- ½ cup raisins
- 3 cups cubed bread stuffing mix
- ¼ cup melted butter, plus more for the skin
How to make them
- Toss the apples, raisins, stuffing mix and melted butter with a splash of broth until evenly moistened.
- Loosely fill each hen's cavity and truss the legs.
- Rub skins with butter, season well, and roast at 375°F for about 60–75 minutes, until juices run clear.
- Rest 10 minutes before serving.
