This recipe produces a delicious, moist, tender bird. It is important that you marinate the bird for the full 24 hours.

SERVES 2 -4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

MARINADE

Directions

  1. 1
    Skin the pheasant and wash.
  2. 2
    Put pheasant in a large bowl with the salt and cover with cold water.
  3. 3
    Soak at least an hour.
  4. 4
    Then discard the brine solution.
  5. 5
    Cut pheasant into 4 pieces.
  6. 6
    Mix Marinade ingredients in a large zip lock bag (big enought to hold the pheasant pieces).
  7. 7
    Put pheasant pieces into the zip lock bag and put into the fridge.
  8. 8
    Marinate for 24 hours.
  9. 9
    Turn the bag every time you open the fridge.

    Put a 1/2 cup of water in your crockpot with the pheasant pieces.
  12. 12
    You may want to add a little more water while cooking if it goes dry (A nice touch is to use a dry white wine instead of the water or mix Wine and water 1/2 and 1/2).
  13. 13
    cook on low for at least 5 hours.

This recipe is great. The meat fell off the bone and was very moist and juicy, not dry at all as often is the case. I did add a 1/2 teaspoon of liquid smoke and a cup of water after 2 hours of cooking because much of the water had evaporated and was concerned the bird might dry out. Bergy has got a winner with this recipe! Try it, you will love it.

    Both DH and I thought this was dry and bland. But it was tender. DH is a Pheasant hunter so we have had lots of them to eat. I followed the recipe with no changes and we were not inpressed at all. There needs to be more liquid to prevent the bird from drying out. Sorry Bergy, this just did not cut it with us.

    We were given several pheasants by a friend who hunts and, while looking for a recipe, I came across this one and it\'s excellent! I followed the recipe exactly and ended up with juicy, falling-off-the-bone pheasant that tasted wonderful! I was a little leary of the tablespoon of Tabasco sauce, but DH and I couldn\'t detect any heat in the finished birds. Thanks, Bergy, for this keeper!

    This recipe was a great hit with my guests and I will make it again. I was searching for a good pheasant recipe and believe I have found it. In the past, my pheasant has turned out dry and tough. Using this recipe the pheasants were tender and moist. Next time I may use a tad bit more Liquid Smoke or a add a few drops in the water when cooking. Thanks for the great recipe.
