For Thanksgiving, we made 5 of our pheasants from my husband's South Dakota hunting trip in October. Delicious! This is how we'll cook the rest, with homemade honey mustard sauce. YUM, thanks!

    Excellent!!! This is a quick and easy pheasant recipe to prepare. This is very close to the way I make them in strips, but I have never used the breadcrumbs. The crumbs make a nice crispy crust. I will be cooking them this way from now on. This is a great way to use up any mangled birds you have. The pheasant cooks so quick that it comes out nice and moist. Thanks Heather'sKitchen for adding another pheasant dish to my cookbook.
