1/2 Cup apple cider
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped onion

salt/pepper/chili flakes/olive oil to tasteOven at 350, place Pheasant in ungreased baking dish 9″x9″x2. Mix all ingrediants together then pour over pheasant. Bake for 1- 1 1/2 hour. Every 30 min, scoop mix from dish over Pheasant (baste). What I found is that you want to remove the legs a little early because they will over cook. For my pheasant, we should’ve removed the legs at one hour but we left everything to cook for an hour and 15 min.

Smoked Pheasant
Smoked Pheasant
Ingredients:
1 whole pheasant
4 T all purpose seasoning
1/2 C brown sugar
2 T smoked paprika
1 tsp granulated garlic
1 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp fresh cracked pepper
1/4 C canola oil
Directions:
In you smoker, start your fire with a savory wood choice. Applewood is a great choice for smoking.
For a single pheasant, 1/2 to 1 lb. piece of your favorite smoking wood will work. Let the wood burn
embers. Meanwhile, prep your whole pheasant by adding the seasonings. When the smoker is at roughly
225 degrees F and embers are smoldering, place the prepped pheasant in the smoker. If using a BBQ style
grill, the heat needs to be off-set as to not char the poultry. The pheasant can smoke anywhere from
45 minutes and on, depending on the preferred amount of smoke flavor. You’ll need a thermometer to
check your temperature. Pheasant must be at least 165 degrees F to be served safely. If you prefer less
smoke, remove the pheasant early and wrap in foil to stop the smoke contact and finish in the smoker
and/or grill until it reaches the appropriate temperature. You can use an oven to bring the poultry up to
a safe serving temp.
