Air Fryer Frozen Cornish Hen
  1. Place the frozen Cornish hens in the air fryer basket, breast side down. Air fry at 360°F (182°C) for 30 minutes to begin thawing and cooking.

  2. Carefully remove the hens and brush them all over with olive oil. Sprinkle evenly with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, thyme, salt, and black pepper, coating well.

  3. Return the hens to the basket breast side up and cook at 360°F for another 20–30 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the thigh and breast.

  4. Let the hens rest for 5–10 minutes before serving. Garnish with lemon wedges and fresh herbs, and enjoy.
