Instant Pot Cornish Hens

Описание: Cornish hens are just so cute and each one makes a generous portion or can be shared with another person. This video is just a loose guideline on how to season and cook the hens in the Instant Pot. I wasn’t following a specific recipe; I was just using what I had on-hand and following my instincts. It turned out great and I’m thinking another Cornish hens video will be coming soon.

Bonus Tip: Don’t throw the cooking liquid away at the end. Use it to cook a side dish or save it for another day. I used it to cook the rice that I served with the chicken at the end of the video. So much flavor!

Today’s Ingredients:
2 Cornish hens
extra virgin olive oil
kosher salt
black pepper
onion
lemon
garlic cloves
bay leaf
poultry seasoning
1 cup water or broth

Instructions:
1. Season the hens by rubbing olive oil, salt, and black pepper all over the skin and inside the cavities.
2. Heat the Instant Pot on sauté, and add a couple tablespoons of olive oil.
3. Brown each hen on top and bottom. Take your time so you get a nice brown crust on the skin. An alternative would be to skip this step and wait until the end to put the hens under an oven broiler for a few minutes to brown the skin.
4. Stuff the cavities with onion, lemon, and garlic.
5. Deglaze the pot with a cup of water, making sure to scrape up all of the stuck-on brown bits. Add a bay leaf, a few garlic cloves, and a few lemon wedges to the pot.
6. Place the hens on a trivet into the pot. Sprinkle a little salt, black pepper, and poultry seasoning over the tops of the hens.
7. Lock the lid and cook on manual/high for 15 minutes with a 10-minute natural pressure release before manually releasing any remaining pressure.
8. Serve and enjoy!
