Cornish hen vs. regular hen: What’s the real difference?

[Prutsald]

Hi, everyone! I've been wondering, what's the real deal with Cornish hens compared to regular hens? Is it just size, or is there more to it like flavor or how you cook them? I'm all for trying new recipes and curious about what sets them apart. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

Cornish hens are like the pint-sized cousins of regular hens! They're super tender and juicy because they're younger, and cook much faster too ..Flavor-wise, they're milder than a regular hen, which is why they shine with bold marinades or herbs Definitely worth a try!

think the main difference is in size and flavor. Cornish hens are smaller and have a slightly milder taste compared to regular hens. Though both can be delicious depending on how you prepare them!
