Description
One of the easiest chickens you will ever make. The skin is golden brown with the help of lemon juice and melted butter, and a blend of herbs. This creates a VERY juicy chicken.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 Cornish hens
- 1/2 cup lemon juice
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Start off by cleaning the cornish hen, I run water through it, until the water comes out clean.
- Then in a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, lemon juice, paprika, thyme, salt, garlic powder, and pepper.
- Rub the mixture over the Cornish hens.
- Set the seasoned Cornish Hens in the air fryer, for 30 minutes at 390 degrees. I basted my Cornish hens every 10 minutes until done. I also flipped my hens at the 15-minute mark, so both sides would get nice and brown.
- Check the internal temperature of the Cornish Hen, which should read 165 degrees F.
- Plate, serve and enjoy!
