Crock Pot Cornish Game Hen
Rock Cornish hens are a cross between a Cornish chicken and a White Rock chicken. They are at most 2 1/2 pounds. Their small size makes them ideal for the crockpot.
For the most part you can cook them with the same ingredients and spices that you use for regular chicken. Some of our more popular game hen recipes use orange sauce or cherries in them.
