Cooking Guide: Pheasant in the Oven
Cooking a pheasant in the oven is a multi-step process but well worth the wait. You'll also need butcher's twine, a roasting pan, a basting brush, and a saucepan.
The roasted meat from one pheasant is enough to feed four people. If you're having a lot of people over, you might want to double the recipe.
- Preheat Turn on the oven and set the temperature to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (205 degrees Celsius).
- Season Season a 2-pound pheasant all over (including the cavity and under the skin) with poultry seasoning, and then brush it with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- In other words, get the bird ready. Crisscross the legs and tie them together with butcher's twine; tuck the wings under the body so they won't catch fire.
- Veggies, please! Put 4 crushed garlic cloves, 1 cut lemon, and 1 1/2 pounds of baby red potatoes in the bottom of a roasting pan. Put the pheasant on top of the potatoes that have been seasoned with half a teaspoon of salt and half a teaspoon of pepper.
- Roast Put the pheasant and potatoes on the middle oven rack and roast at 400 degrees Fahrenheit (205 degrees Celsius) for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the juices are clear and the internal temperature of the bird is 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius).
- Rest Take the pheasant out of the oven and place it on a cutting board or platter. Rest the roasted pheasant for 10 minutes with a sheet of aluminum foil over it.
If you're looking to up your vegetable intake, try some honey-glazed carrots or roasted brussels sprouts. And if you serve it with some garlic bread, you've got yourself a fantastic, balanced meal. Enjoy

So, Tell Me, What Does Pheasant Basically Taste Like?
Given its high fat content, pheasant is at its best when cooked to a medium-rare. Pheasant raised in a farm environment tastes similar to chicken but has a more subtle, gamey flavor. The meat of a wild pheasant will have a gamier flavor and a more pronounced aroma.
