This recipe is great. I have made it for most of the family now as they have come visiting and they all leave asking for the recipe. My bf only gets it when its a special occasion so now he try's to make special occasions just to get the hens. I did make a few minor changes however. I add the mushrooms with about 5 to 10 mins to go so they cook in a little better. I also use Cajun seasoning to give it a bit more kick and I dont brush the butter on the hens I pour the remaining butter over the hens before covering to cook.. I also cook for 50 to 70 mins like the package said to cook it instead of the directions here. But otherwise I love this recipe thanks so much for it!!

It was ok. Cooking time was WAY off. I actually had to cook mine for almost 1 hour and 1/2.

I'm not sure the recipe adequately tells you how long to cook the hens. I had to put them back into the oven, covered. The rice inside also was not cooked too well. After covering them and cooking them longer on lower heat, it all turned out to be quite yummy.

I was a bit disappointed w/this recipe. It was easy, and the stuffing was fine, but nothing special. Think I'll try something new before I'd use this again.

I had to give this recipe another try after my first attempt. Having never cooked cornish hens, the recipe does not do a good job of telling you how long to bake the hens for--the first time I tried it, I didn't cook it long enough (the suggested 30 to 35 minutes only cooked it half way!). I attempted the recipe once again--I suggest a minimum of 60 minutes in the oven, watch it often, and enjoy. Loved the taste, thus the 4 stars!

Well, I made this dish for Thanksgiving today, since it is a nice size for my husband and I. We really liked the rice stuffing (5 stars for that), but it was way too mushroomy for me (subtract a star for that). Could have done with half the mushrooms. I won't go into the problems I had cooking the Cornish hens, since they aren't really the fault of the recipe. Let's just say it had a lot to do with inexperience and chicken skin and half-frozen birds. It will be a dark day before I venture to cook whole poultry again.
