5 spice cornish hen

5 spice cornish hen, originally uploaded by aznkey.

Since the local market do not carry chickens smaller than 3 pounds I decided to try my 5 spice recipe on a rock cornish game hen. The theory is-smaller chickens taste better because of skin to meat ration is higher=). I was also going to deep fry the chicken after roasting to get the crispy chicken effect in the restaurant but didn't have to time to do it. Note the improve knife work on cutting up the chicken compared to last time. Verdict, the game hen does taste a bit better than a 5 lb chicken.
