Crumble the cornbread muffins over the cranberry mixture.
Add herbs and spices. Then stir in stock and salt and pepper to taste.
Pat dry and season the birds. Loosely stuff each with 1/3 cup of stuffing.
Tie legs closed and place the hens in a baking dish. Brush with oil and season.
Bake the Cornish hens for about 1 hour at 400°F, until golden brown.
