(2) Cornish Hens 1 Medium Potato, chopped 2 Medium Carrots, chopped 1 Small Onion, chopped 1 Stalk Celery, chopped 1 Tbs Vegetable Oil 2 Tbs Butter 4 Tbs Cornstarch 2-1/2 Cups Chicken Broth 1/4 Cups Apple Cider Vinegar 2 Chicken Flavor Bouillon Cubes 2 Tsp Italian Seasoning 2 Tsp Paprika 1-1/2 Tsp Garlic Powder 1-1/2 Tsp Onion Powder 1 Tsp Salt 1 Tsp Black Pepper Instructions 1. Rinse hens with salt and water. Remove package of giblets from cavity and any excess fat. 2. Chop your vegetables into small size pieces. 3. Combine butter and oil, then melt in microwave. Afterwards, add vinegar, then stir in well. 4. Combine broth and cornstarch, then stir in well. This is what's going to create a nice gravy for our hens. This step is optional though... you don't have to add the slurry for gravy. If you decide not to make a gravy with this dish, just add a 1/3 cup of broth to the baking dish. 5. Preheat oven to 350 degrees 6. Add chopped vegetables, giblets, and bouillon cubes to baking dish. 7. Add cornish hens to the bed of vegetables. 8. Rub the melted butter mixture and seasonings onto each side of the hens. You can use margarine by the way if that's all you have but butter is recommended. 9. Pour the slurry into the baking dish. 10. Place in oven and bake until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. Stick thermometer into thickest part of the hens to test doneness. Make sure the thermometer doesn't touch the bone in the hens to get an accurate reading. I always let my hens cook for 2 hours though. 11. Base the hens 1 to 2 times during cooking time. Basing the hens just helps to brown the skin and give it that nice golden brown color. Enjoy!
Who else is watching this at Thanksgiving 2020 because Thanksgiving was cancelled? I decided against a turkey because it's just 3 of us so I bought 3 of these hens and I don't want to mess them up.
I just roasted 3 of these little hens a couple of nights ago. I followed your instructions exactly except for the bed, I used a LOT of small potatoes, Carrots, Mushrooms & 1 chopped up sweet potato. It came out PERFECT & the fam got 3 great meals out of it! Thank you sir!!!
Hey luv! I want to say I love your recipes! You are great at what you do. People are drawn to you because you have your own style and your energy is amazing!. Please don't the negative things here on social media keep you from being you. I appreciate your gift and I pray that God continues to bless you and that He expands your territory. Have a wonderful day! 😘❤️💕
This video just saved my life today at my job ( retirement home) Walk in and they told me I’m cooking one of these.... first of all I never even heard of a Cornish hen lol. Thank you so so much for this video this house smells delicious and the residents are hungry!
I was hesitant to try this recipe because the only vegetables I had were rutabagas, sweet potatoes, carrots and mushrooms. I thought it would taste weird but I am so glad I did it. I was surprised how good it tasted and my family liked it also. They literally licked the plate! Definitely worth it😋
PBJ baby I just want to give you your props! I made this for Sunday dinner and it was delicious. I will be following your recipes from here on out. Thank you for your tips, my 15 year old son went through two hens in one day.
Oh my Lord. I finally tried this recipe today and I just got through from eating it. And let me tell you......{sigh} this is probably one of the BEST the BEST meals I've ever made in my life. Because I follow step by step except for the butter I used olive oil and a little butter flavor shortening and I used a large sliced red onion. And I made some garlic mashed potatoes with minced garlic and a little garlic powder. I just love your recipe. I never had these before. Oh my goshhhhh. You don't understand how it blessed me. This is not the first meal I'll be recreating from your recipes. Keep up this great work you're doing. I just want to make this Cornish hen meal every week. It was delightful and so moist oh let me stop😂 Thank you so much for your dedication💜💜💜
And I love how tender the celery, red onions, and the carrots tasted. The weren't hard at all. This meal is the 💣💣💣 I can go on and on about it. So touching lol. I'm in love with this recipe. Your channel and work is not looked over. Trust me I wrote out a couple of your recipes for one of my sisters for thanksgiving. So keep it up🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Looks just delicious! A tip if you feel like you're making more gravy than you can use in one meal: Make some extra mashed potatoes or stovetop stuffing and stir the gravy into it while it's still warm. Then you can refrigerate or even freeze the side dish for another meal. The starch will keep the gravy from separating and getting "nasty" the way it does if you put in the fridge by itself, and that wonderful gravy won't go to waste.
Chris u are the best, i have been watching youtube videos, you are the most and best cook, ive learn so much from you, thank you mrs.chris i know your family appreciates you as much as I do,stay bless and stay focus on it!
First time cooking the Cornish Hens. I cooked this today for the Thanksgiving. My family loved it! Meat is very soft and juicy, and flavorful gravy! I'm very happy I found this video. Thanks you!!!
Love love everything you cook. My Cornish hens are on cooking right now. They are for Bible study tonight. I know everyone will enjoy them. God bless you
You just killed me dead with that! Of all the Cornish hen cooking videos I’ve watched, yours is best! I literally have all those ingredients! My neighbor gifted me with two and I’ve never cooked them before. Wish me luck!🙂
I have cooked a few of philly boy jay recipes and they turned out great. Really making me a better seasoned cook. Right now I am fixing this recipe and it smells great in the oven I tried Cornish hens before and it came out dry, so hopefully this one won't will update once everyone eats.
Ok i just made this with u but i made three hens and i used Lamon to squeeze inside the Cornish hens and I made them in my casserole dish so i asked more of everything lets see how it turns out yummy
I wish I could post my dinner.. It just came out the oven and OMG.. It looks almost identical to yours. Thank you so much for sharing. Can’t wait to dig in!! 🤗
I followed your Turkey recipe to the T and had everyone loving it you are such a blessing thank you so much and I have done so many of your recipes to the T and I tell you my man ain't eva leaving lol the BEST 😘
Had the same issue (mine had plants growing out of them), so I skipped them. Used dressing leftover from Christmas dinner (in the back of the freezer). It was an excellent meal!
I have never made these before tonight and I threw in different veggies, but this was officially the best meal I've ever made. 🤤 Thanks so much for posting this.
My mother-in-law dropped off some "little chickens" 3-days ago ("they were on sale"). I thought "WTH am I supposed to do with these!", then I thought about PBJ...he'll know what to do. Thanks Bro!
Never cooked the Cornish Hens before but thanks for the tips....I basically copied it...only difference is I just added fresh thyme and lemon. It's cooking now....should be ready in an hour from now or so....thanks again for the tips!
Hi PBJ, just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed your idea of Game Hens! Damn, that was good! Veggies, fowl, and gravy, it really doesn't get better than that!! Subscribed!!!
Tonight was my second time making this and wow it's everything my gravy came out perfect veggies nice and tender along with the hen gonna be a great dinner tmr only tweak I made was no boullion cube just put gravy master in my slurry...cooling for 40 minutes then will put in fridge. you help me with my cooking skills so much Philly boy I love your channel keep on cooking and showing us viewers what you working with
Thank you so much. These look absolutely delicious. I’m like you gravy is very important. And yours looks great. Gonna do this Christmas Day. Am going to cut up potatoes and season them as well and put them in the oven. Anyway great job and thanks again.

I decided against a turkey because it's just 3 of us so I bought 3 of these hens and I don't want to mess them up.
Meeeee! I bought 4! My dad was the cook and he passed so my mom said I'm up next!! Hope yours come out good!
Same here
Big facts! Much cheaper
I just put my two hens in the oven. I hope they are as good as they look.
Yep, exact same, just myself and two kids so a turkey is overkill.
Back for another Thanksgiving! My husband requested cornish hens and my first thought was, LEMME FIND PHILLYBOYJAY!! God Bless!!
I just roasted 3 of these little hens a couple of nights ago. I followed your instructions exactly except for the bed, I used a LOT of small potatoes, Carrots, Mushrooms & 1 chopped up sweet potato. It came out PERFECT & the fam got 3 great meals out of it! Thank you sir!!!

We JUST made your recipe for Cornish gens. We loved it. We didn’t want turkey or ham for Thanksgiving..... so this came in handy. We love you PBJ!!
PBJ baby I just want to give you your props! I made this for Sunday dinner and it was delicious. I will be following your recipes from here on out. Thank you for your tips, my 15 year old son went through two hens in one day.
Thank you my dad said best gravy I had ever made won’t forget this and had never added vinegar won’t forget that either FANTASTIC!!!
I actually tried this tonight. Using that slurry to make delicious gravy is definitely now my new thing!
"If you don't want any gravy with it, you don't have to do this." Well Hell Yes I want some gravy! :D
Lmao it's killing how you throw the fat🤣😂🤣😂
I just thought that 😂
Right?! Looks like he is leaning (heavily) on the sink just throwing the fat.
The flick!
I focused so much on this 🤣
I swear!
I baked the Cornish hens today 9/21/19 and they Were the best I ever made. We miss you. God bless your new journey.
You just don't know how much of blessing you are to me and my family thank you
