Yesterday I was in the mood for roasted Cornish hen, so that’s what we had for dinner.
I usually use a garlic and herb seasoning but yesterday decided to change it up a little with smoked paprika and cumin seasoning which blended well together.
This roasted Cornish hen recipe would make a great substitute for turkey on Thanksgiving for those with a small group of only two or three.
