    This is DENIFINITELY an "in law" dish. Make this for your inlaws, and they will be sooo impressed. The birds look like they've come straight out of a Gourmet Cooking magazine. The rice pilaf as directed in the recipe actually makes enough for 6 birds. Love this recipe and will use it over and over again to impress my guests.

    I made this for dinner guests three years ago and these people still talk about it! My wife requested this for her birthday dinner! The rice is fantastic and the hens come out of the oven with a beautiful color with tender meat. This is a household favorite!

    This is absolutely delicious! It looks and tastes like you spent the entire day in the kitchen. It is an impressive dinner. Plus, it was very easy. I was not sold on the comments that the rice pilaf with the sausage was incredible, but one bite convinced me. We ate not only the amount stuffed in the hen, but what was left. Bravo Emeril.

    I made this for xmas eve and it was fabulous. I used wild boar sausage instead of regular and doubled the celery, carrots, onions and sausage and it was great. The flavors are extremely festive and the cinnamon isn't overpowering. The apricot glaze is perfect. Be prepared to have a favorite holiday recipe!

    This recipe is definitely a keeper! Did these birds for Thanksgiving instead of the traditional turkey. And it was a major hit! The hens came out tender and juicy, the skins with a nice shine and taste. The biggest hit of the meal was the sausage-rice pilaf stuffing!! That was gone before the hens!! Kept some of the glaze to the side for a "dipping" sauce. Will make over and over again!!

    The Cornish Hens were wonderful, however, the rice filling had way to much cinnamon in it. It was over powering. Since Emeril's food is always fanstatic I will chalk it up to individual taste. Otherwish it was a wonderful meal.

    Since I had decided to serve butternut squash risotto, I didn't need to stuff the hens. I added the cinnamon to the glaze recipe, stuffed the hens with an orange slice, some fresh parsley and thyme, a slice of onion and 1/2 garlic clove to flavor them. These turned out so incredibly flavorful and juicy. Can't wait to make them again with the stuffing.
