Notes

Stock. I used the chicken stock that I made in my instant pot frozen whole chicken recipe. You could do the same, make your own or use a shop bought one.
Quantities. Note that there is enough space in a larger instant pot to do 2 Cornish hens at once if you wish. Or this recipe is ideal if you have an instant pot mini and want a small meal for two.
