How long does it take to bake a hen and what temperature should you use?

Answer 1

based on a few websites I found it seems like the agreed time is about 50-1.5 hrs depending on size and tempt. Some say heat oven to 350 while others say. 400 degrees. Some prefer to add butter or a soup stock to avoid basting as much as you normally would.

Answer 2

Cook any chicken according to standard recipes for the bird. The only thing that might take longer is a very large, old chicken which should be stewed slowly for several hours, as it will be very tough otherwise.

Answer 3

It certainly depends on the size but if your cooking a couple cornish hens approximately 1 - 1.5lbs each then preheat oven at 375 F and cook for about 1 hour or until they are no longer pink.

Answer 4

How long it takes to bake a hen depends on how many pounds it weighs. You should bake a hen at 350 degrees for 20 minutes a pound.
