Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Contents of cavity are often packaged in a plastic bag. Sometimes they forget the neck. Be sure to remove all contents, especially if you buy the bird from a gourmet grocery store (recommended). There are recipes for those extra parts readily available on the internet.

Birds over 1.5 pounds are chickens, not cornish hens, and are not recommended. Bigger is not necessarily better.
