Deeelish!! Made them for Easter dinner. I browned them on the stovetop and transferred them to a sheet pan to finish off in the oven. I only had minimal smoke in the oven. Checked them for doneness at 25 mins....not quite. They needed to be baked for 35 mins to be perfect for our tastes. Easy but yummy and impressive.

WOW is all I can say. Sunny, this is awesome! I saw the recipe and then watched your video and made it that night. I only had 2 hens (just my husband and me so I cut the recipe in half except for the bacon...still used 4 rashers. I don't have oven-proof skillets so I browned the hens as directed but then transferred them to a foil lined rimmed backing dish, adding the bacon and the sage butter. Not sure why everyone is talking about all the smoke...I didn't have any. Bottom line, this recipe left me with crispy, yet juicy, hens. It's definitely on my radar for holidays! Thanks:-

Yay! This was excellent! The hens were tender,flavorful, and juicy! I made this for a holiday dinner and it was great!! thanks Sunny!
Oh and I am wondering why people are brining the hens! They are flavorful and juicy enough! Brining may not be the best idea!

I did everything that the recipe said...no missteps. It was probably the most terrible meal I served to guests (should have tried it beforehand, I guess. I even brined the butterflied hens for 3 hours before cooking. Maybe living at 6600' had something to do with it?? Presentation was good but tough and dry. I didn't have any problems with smoking even at 425 degrees.

Very good recipe.I did brine the birds first(not necessary but i think it helps in a sugar salt h2o mixture for 2 hours.The sage butter is perfect for this dish.I seved it with a potato hash and pickled red cabbage.Easy recipe.Kudos Sunny.

Beyond delicious! This was the most amazing hen I ever ate. We were making yummy noises and could not eat fast enough! We basted often and the skin was crisp, meat juicy and full of flavor. Bacon stayed on and added a nice texture and flavor. We will make this often! We added a little smoked paprika which gave a golden reddish color to the skin. Thank you Sunny!!!

Cornish hens were delicious and the recipe was easy to follow. When I prepare the recipe next time I will brine the hens, it was a little too dry for me........ but delicious.

Found this to be really easy and the flavors really came together in a great way. Paired it with a nice Mendoza Chardonnay and the butter and citrus of the two really complemented each other.

Really loved this recipe! it wasn't difficult to prepare, even having to roast hens one at a time. Kitchen did become smokey, but thanks to previous reviews i did ventilate before putting hens in the oven. thanks to the video i learned how to butterfly poultry. Hens turned out delicious! I will use this recipe again.
