today I'm going to show you how to trust a Cornish hen typically one uses butchers twine we're using this quick trick we can twist this bird into a tidy bundle that will roast up beautifully take a small knife and make a little incision right here on the flap of skin surrounding the cavity then use your finger to poke a hole through the skin next we can repeat on the opposite side cutting a small incision then again Kofi's through the skin with one's finger next using our finger as a guide you can insert the end of the drumstick through the hole cut on the opposite side of the bird then we repeat finding the incision on the opposite side and again using our finger as a guide we tuck the drumstick across the bird tucking a leg into the small hole lastly we can fold the wings under the bird and voila a gorgeous little package of a bird ready for roasting happy Thanksgiving chest
