Notes
Cornish Hens usually come in packs of two. Prepare the second hen in the same way and freeze for another time. Or cook the second chicken after the first is done and save it for another meal!
Some air fryer ovens have preset temperatures and settings. Check your manual and use it according to the instructions.
