I first served these hens at Thanksgiving one year when only a few of us gathered to celebrate the holiday. They're so yummy they often grace our table throughout the year. The wild rice stuffing offers a flavor my family always enjoys. -Jenny Holliday, Roanoke, Alabama

I've made this recipe several times and it always turns out great. The hens are always cooked evenly and the stuffing is always flavorful. I love that I can adjust the seasonings to my own taste.
