About Cornish game hen
Cornish game hen is a small, young chicken sold whole, usually ready to roast. Despite the name, it is a domestic chicken rather than a separate game bird. Its edible meat and skin have the familiar flavour and texture of chicken, with a small carcass that can be cooked whole or divided.
It is commonly roasted or grilled and may be sold fresh or frozen, plain or seasoned. The exact size and degree of processing vary by product. Raw and cooked meat, and meat with or without skin, are different forms for culinary and nutrition comparisons.
