If cornish hens have giblets in the bag inside, remove the giblets from the bag and put in the air fryer basket (giblets can cook together with the cornish hens)
Brush the cornish hens with olive oil and rub with salt and pepper. You can also add your favorite seasonings.
Put the cornish hens in the air fryer and set the temperature to 400F and the time for 40 minutes.
Halfway through, flip the cornish hens with tongs, so they brown evenly on both sides.
