Notes
- Seasoning. You can you use any of your favourite seasonings. We went with a classic Mediterranean seasoning.
- Quantities. Note that we have a Philips Air Fryer XL (this one) and it’s the perfect size for 2 Cornish hens. If you have smaller, you might need to just cook one.
- Thanks for reading our air fryer Cornish game hens recipe on Recipe This. We have many more air fryer recipes for you to check out next. Though if you love roasts, then I recommend you try our air fryer beef pot roast.
