Receta Slow-cooked Drunken Cornish Hen
Unless you're cooking for a large family and number of guests, whether it's for Thanksgiving or other holidays, a 15-pound turkey may be a bit too much. Unless, of course, you don't mind bringing turkey sandwiches to work for lunch over the following two weeks!
I've never cooked a perfect turkey on Thanksgiving, that much I can admit. So, since I've never been expected or tasked to feed a table of 10 or 12, I've always turned to the Cornish game hen for my holiday fare. It has helped me build my confidence in roasting or baking bird.
For this holiday, I wanted to do something else with my Cornish hen -- no roasting or baking, just slow-cooking. It's so much easier to prepare. Just throw everything into the crock pot, turn it on and in no time you'll be all set for dinner.
(If your crock pot is large enough, you can cook two hens at a time)
