Cornish Hens – Instant Pot
(In my 8-quart Instant Pot with a removable rack. )
Ingredients you will need:
2 Cornish Hens
2 cups of Italian Dressing or Chicken stock
Step one:
Set your pressure cooker for poultry. Pressure Cook time on 2 hens is 20 mins for thawed hens or 45 mins for frozen.
Step Two:
If you would like to sear the sear the skin this is a great time. (See my post on how to do this in a pressure cooker…. here.) Place a rack at the bottom of your pressure cooker to keep from burning and over cooking the hens.
Step Three:
Place both hens side by side on top of rack.
Step Four:
Pour Italian dressing over each hen and allow it to pool under the rack at the bottom of the pot.
Step Five:
Replace the lid and set exhaust to airtight.
Step Six:
When the hens have finished cooking. Release the pressure.
Step Seven:
Remove hens from pressure cooker.. allow to cool 5 minutes.
Step Eight:
Carve and Enjoy.
