Fryer Cornish Hen Recipe

Cooking your hen in an air fryer can be done quickly and is often more convenient because you don’t have to worry about monitoring a stovetop or oven. Plus, there are fewer dishes to clean up! If you do choose to cook your Cornish hen in an air fryer, make sure that it has at least 400 degrees of power so that it can reach optimal temperatures for cooking poultry.
