- Make the cornbread stuffing first. Brown the sausage in a pan, making sure to break it up into crumbles. Add the butter, along with the onion and celery. Cook for 5 minutes over medium-low heat, until softened. Add the chicken stock and thyme. Off the heat, add the chicken stock and thyme. Allow to cool slightly. Place the pieces of cornbread in a bowl. Add the chicken stock mixture to the cornbread. Add parsley, salt and pepper, and mix together until moistened.
- Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 400 degrees F. Place the sliced onion on top of a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet. Remove any giblets from the hens, and rinse them inside and out. Pat the outsides dry with a paper towel. Sprinkle the inside of the cavities with salt. Pack the cavities of the hens with the cornbread stuffing. All of it should fit.
- Tuck the wing tips under the body of the hens. Tie the legs together with kitchen string. Generously sprinkle the outsides of the hens with salt and pepper and use your hands to rub and evenly distribute the seasoning around the entire surface. Place the hens breast side down on top of the onions. Roast until backs are golden brown, about 25 minutes.
- Flip the hens breast side up and continue to roast for 15 minutes. Remove hens from oven and crank the heat up to 450 degrees F. Brush the tops with a little olive oil and pop back into the oven for 5-10 minutes, or until the skin is browned and the breasts register 160 degrees F and the thighs register 175 degrees F. Transfer hens to a serving platter or cutting board and allow to rest uncovered for 10 minutes before slicing into them.

- Season The Hen. Like all the most delicious things, we like to brush our Cornish hen with butter before it roasts. For seasoning, we keep it relatively simple: salt, pepper, and a nice hearty herb like thyme or rosemary (or both!).
- Stuff The Cavity. To infuse even more flavor into your hen, stuff the cavity. Keep it simple with lemon and herbs, or experiment with other citrus like limes or mandarin oranges and other alliums like garlic or shallots.
- Tuck The Wings. Since we like roasting our hens at a high temperature, it's important we protect the wings from charring to a crisp. Tucking the wings under the hen allows even browning and cooking no matter what temperature you're roasting at.
- Tie The Legs. Trussing a chicken is about more than just looks! Not only does it insure the hen cooks evenly, it also helps the hen retain moisture, leading to tender, fall-off-the-bone meat.
- Transfer To Baking Dish. We love a 2-in-1 dinner. Roasting our veggie side with our hen couldn't be easier—simply scatter your potatoes (or parsnips, carrots, onions, or sweet potatoes!)
- Get Roasting! Pop your dish in a 425° oven and roast for 50 minutes, or until potatoes are golden and tender and a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the hen reads 160°.
- Serve. Et violá! The perfect dinner for two. Pour yourself a glass of chilled dry white wine for a job well done.

- Roasted Brussels Sprouts. Sure, they might not be everyone’s favorite vegetable (or even a vegetable at all) but roasting them with olive oil and salt is sure to change your mind.
- Crispy Fried Onion Rings. These are a classic appetizer but can also be used as a side dish. The batter is typically made from flour and milk, with the onion rings battered in rice or corn starch before being fried for about three to four minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Sautéed Mushrooms. Cook mushrooms by adding them to butter in a pan over medium heat until they release their liquid (this will help bring out all of their deep flavors).
- Creamy Coleslaw. Again, this dish requires quite a bit more time than others on our list, but if you’re looking for something light yet flavorful, then creamy coleslaw will do nicely.
- Butternut Squash Gratin. This one takes a little more work than the other dishes, but it is well worth the effort. Slice up some of that squash you love so much and add to stewed tomatoes before topping with a crusty breadcrumb or cheese-based topping and baking in an oven until bubbly and golden brown.
- Delectable Eggplant Parmesan. This one is another dish that takes a bit of prep work and time in the oven, but once it’s ready, there are few dishes as satisfying.
- Arugula, Radish, and Feta Salad. This salad takes just a few minutes to make but tastes like something you would find on the menu of an expensive restaurant.
- Lemon Garlic Pasta. This easy side dish can be made in less than 20 minutes and will have your mouth watering with its tangy yet rich flavor that comes from the bright lemon juice mixed perfectly with garlic.
- Sautéed Kale with Garlic. This side dish goes great with any meat but pairs exceptionally well with. Cornish hens because of its health benefits, like cleansing your system through toxins for a healthier you.
- Asparagus and Goat Cheese Quiche. A quiche is usually not something you can make on the spur of the moment. Still, this recipe allows you to whip one together quickly without sacrificing quality or taste.
