Split Cornish Hens Without Necks And Giblets

Split Cornish hens are young chickens, typically 5-6 weeks old, that have been cut in half lengthwise. They are a type of broiler chicken bred for meat production. The hens are usually sold whole but cut into two pieces, with the neck and giblets removed.

Split Cornish hens are sold as a whole raw poultry product for consumers to cook at home. They are a source of protein and are often roasted or baked. Their small size and tender meat make them suitable for individual servings.

Split Cornish hens are a source of protein, vitamins, and minerals. As with all raw poultry, proper handling and cooking are essential to prevent foodborne illness. The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) provides guidelines for safe handling and cooking temperatures.
