Need a good pheasant recipe
My Dad is going pheasant hunting in a few weeks. This means we will most likely have pheasant for Christmas dinner, which is kind of a family tradition. Normally Dad puts them in a crock pot and we have pheasant and gravy, which is really good. I 'm just thinking it might be fun this year to try a different recipe. Does anyone have any good pheasant recipes?
Thanks,

RE: Need a good pheasant recipe
I have cooked pheasant a couple of different ways. I like to do a white chilli, not great for Christmas dinner, or I have also done the beer can cooker on the grille. Rub the bird down with butter, and your favorite seasonings, and low temps. Lastly the other thing we did last year was this. We always deep fry a turkey, yes we used the basket and fried the pheasant, careful though it only takes a minute or two, DONT WALK AWAY!!! A turkey is 3 minutes per pound I think. So the pheasant is only maybe a pound. Good luck.

Yeah stuff them with bread stuffing,rub them down with butter and Cavenders Greek seasoning.Put them in a roaster cook 1-1 1/2 hrs at 350 or till done.
Take one can cream of mushroom soup and 1/2 jar of Garlic alfredo sauce 1/2 can milk,heat on stove top.
Serve pheasnt with sauce over the top with garlic butter angle hair pasta.
Makes a great meal.

Baste them in lemon juice, butter, and honey mixture and stuff with wild rice dressing and bake in a roaster in the oven at 325 until done or put them in one of them cooking bags. The rest of the wild rice can be made on the side. Zeak

Bring figs and wine to a low boil in a heavy saucepan. Reduce and simmer to 1/3 of original volume. Remove pan from oven, removing leg and thigh. Return to burner for 45 seconds. Sear skin side of pheasant breast for 1 minute. Flip and return thigh and leg. Finish in oven for 5 to 6 minutes. Remove pheasant from pan and plate.

Oh, these all sound good. Thanks.
I guess I'll have to tell Dad to get a lot of pheasants.
I have to say I'd never imagined deep frying a pheasant. Sounds like it could be an interesting experiment.
Thanks again,
