The LOTH just brought home a pheasant from one of her coworkers. Sweet! Trouble is I'm not sure how to cook it. I've never had Pheasant before. I don't want to ruin it by cooking it poorly. I was thinking of brining over night and roasting with some fall veggies, squash, potatoes, onions etc. Any suggestions for roasting times and temps from you seasoned foodies? Also seasoning profiles? I was thinking traditional thyme, rosemary, S&P, Maybe some fresh sage? I want to do this bird justice. Any help would be appreciated.
Roast Pheasant ?

There was another thread about pheasant a couple of weeks ago. It has some good info and recipes. Sorry, I don't joke how to link to it through Tapatalk, but you can find it by browsing--it's probably in the last 30 threads or so.

^^ Thanks. I'll do a search.
Wrap it in bacon or skin it, cut off the meaty bitsand blacken them.

Sprinkle it with half cooked chopped bacon and chopped onions after the spice rub.

It's in a brine tonight. Looks like a bacon wrap for tomorrow. Thanks to all. I'll let you know how it turns out.
I have no idea, but the idea of a roast pheasant sounds delicious right about now. Or slow cooked over hardwood after being brined . . .
Game is really lean. Use a turkey bag for roasting and you will have a much moister bird.
Make sure to post pics of the finished product.
