Cornish game hen (also Rock Cornish game hen) is the USDA-approved name for variety of broiler chicken, produced from a cross between theCornish and White Plymouth Rock chicken breeds, that is served young and immature, weighing no more than two pounds (900 g) ready to cook.[1][2]

Despite the name, the Cornish game hen is not a game bird and can be either male or female. Bred to develop a large breast over a short period of time,[2] the fowl weighs roughly 2.5 pounds (1.1 kilograms) when slaughtered at four to six weeks of age[2] and typically commands a higher price per pound than mature chicken.[citation needed]
History[edit]
The Saturday Evening Post credits Alphonsine 'Therese' and Jacques Makowsky of Connecticut with developing the small fowl in the mid-1950s.[citation needed] The couple crossbred Cornish game cocks with other varieties of chicken and game bird, including the White Plymouth Rock hen and the Malayanfighting cock, to produce a succulent bird suitable for a single serving.[3] The musician and comedian Victor Borge was an early investor in and promoter of the concept,[4] leveraging his personal popularity to transform the dish from an exotic menu item into a common household meal.[citation needed]
