@Dizzy - Try this one - http://allrecipes.com/recipe/cornish-hens-the-easy-way/detail.aspx
Even if all you have is salt, pepper and olive oil (or butter) I bet they'll be awesome.
Thanks Layla! It looks like I've got all of that, except the limes. Hopefully it'll be fine without them! I didn't even know that website existed! I'm joining right now
I'll let you know how they turn out
I've never made Cornish hens before, but I know chicken in general tastes super good with just some butter, salt, and pepper :) I'm sure it will be good!
allrecipes.com is really awesome :) Be sure to read the reviews for the recipes- they usually give some really helpful hints!
I bet they'll be great! Good luck!! (and keep your fingers crossed for my turkey... eek!)
Alton Brown has some good instructions on how to process and season them. Don't worry about the other steps/ingredients. I agree that butter, salt and pepper would be great!
@ Dizzy - allrecipes is an amazing site, I use it almost exclusively for online recipe searches. You can read reviews too, so you know a dish is good. Good luck with the cornish hens!
Thanks everyone! I'm about to start them (they're almost done thawing). I'm pretty excited!

So, last night FI got a migraine. They're a pretty common occurance (he's got a brain injury from combat) and took 3 vicotin to take the edge off. He's still sleeping.
Anyway, Since he was supposed to cook today, I decided to surprise him when he wakes up with our Thanksgiving meal done, or in progress, so he doesn't have to do it. Since it's just the two of us I got cornish hens, cause he apparently really likes them. I've never had them.
Now I'm no experienced cook. I can make pasta and a mean fried chicken, and that's about it. I'm trying to find a recipe for these cornish hens, and so far, no luck. FI said all we'd need was butter or oil, so I didn't look up a recipe, and now that I am, I don't have half of the ingredients to make these! Going to the store is out because we don't have a car, the buses aren't running, and the store is probably closed anyway.
Urrrrrrrrrrrgh here's to hoping it goes well.
