Could have just been a bad bird! I used the Whiz method of direct and that worked for me as well. Maybe give it a try next time and see if that helps at all.

The hens were old enough to vote. Stick to 4 lbs and under.

I agree with the previous post, Hens or "stewing hens" are tuff ole birds best left for a nice soup/stew, hence the name.

Sir....Absolutely concur with the prior post. Hens are egg layers, and allowed to age. They look nice and plump, but are really only suited for soups and stews. Stick with 'fryers'.
