Question
I want to serve for Easter 9 rock cornish hens. Do I stuff them as per any fowl and how long should I roast them? Recipes that I see say 45 mins., but for that many, do I roast  them longer and to what internal temmperature? Thanks

Answer
Darlene:
There are some tricks when roasting meat pieces:
a. You should roast 30 minutes per lb.(Oven's Temperature is about 180-190 F.) i.e If meat piece is about 5 lb it takes about 2,5 hours. According to internal temperature.
b.Internal temperature 170 F.

Good luck,
Enrique
