I am making Cornish hen for New Year's Eve dinner this evening.
From a post many years ago.

Cornish Hen
If I am dining alone on Thanksgiving, my preferred dish: Cornish hen.
Because
I will be dining with Corky, Sophia, and Sophia's family tomorrow, I
had my Thanksgiving-dinner-for-one tonight. And wow, it turned out
nicely. Mashed potatoes, turkey gravy, and Cornish hen. Next year I will
add the sides. LOL.
Preparation: ten minutes, at most.
- Cornish hen baked on a bed of rosemary and thyme; always trussed;
- first time, tonight, I added a slice of thick-cut, high-quality bacon -- just one slice -- on the bed of rosemary/thyme;
- brushed with oil; rub of Weber's "Kickin' Chicken," small amount of pepper; smaller amount of salt;
- basted with butter during cooking
- one Cornish hen: 60 minutes uncovered; an additional 15 minutes covered; at 350°F
Note: if you like crispy skin, and I do, so I will do this differently next time, don't baste with butter.
