How to cook a Cornish hen in the slow cooker?

leave the potatoes in their jackets and put under the hens they will absorb the flavor and the fat of the meat .if you didn't have potatoes i would use carrots to keep the meat up out of the broth but they are generally to greasy to use for a side can be used in stock tho. i like to sprinkle mine with lots of lemon pepper. they cook just like any other chicken. probably 4 hrs on low.check a good while before dinner to see if you need to turn it to high for a while. stove top works fine in the slow cooker as does riceroni .i do not recommend them under any meat though.
