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 

  • 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!
