The Cornish game hen still commands a higher price per pound than regular broiler or fryer chickens, partly due no doubt to its decades-old reputation as an exotic new fowl. It is not exotic or new.
Are Cornish hens worth it?
They cost more than regular chicken, but as splurges go, it’s a cheap thrill. Aside from the diminutive size, their most notable trait is the tenderness of their meat, and the way it can accommodate a lemony marinade or quickly absorb the flavors of a spice rub.
Are Cornish hens better than Turkey?
They’re at least as scrumptious as turkeys, but they’re much smaller — weighing in at 1 pound to 2 pounds — making them easier to cook. They roast up much more quickly, and you don’t have to wrestle them into a roasting pan to make them fit. With hens that are on the large size, you get two servings out of every bird.
