The diminutive yet highly prized poultry known as the Rock Cornish game hen boasts an all-white meat composition and a smaller bone structure. Developed through a combination of selective breeding techniques that involved crossing the Cornish hen with other breeds of chicken, this delicacy has become a favorite among gourmands. Weighing in at less than a pound, this bird is ideally suited for roasting whole and serving as a centerpiece for an elegant and refined meal.
