Air Fryer Cornish Hens

Air Fryer Cornish Hens

I love roasted chicken - but when cooking for 1-2 - a whole chicken is a lot - air fryer cornish hens are delicious, juicy roasted chicken in less than 30 minutes of cooking time! They're great for a weeknight dinner but also a little fancy if you've got a special occasion dinner
