Pheasant is known for it’s ‘wild flavour’, a distinct mild gamey flavour which becomes more distinctive the longer the bird has been hung for. Pheasant is lean, rich in iron and protein but low in fat. It is versatile meat and is a fantastic tasty alternative to chicken. Oven Ready Pheasant is prepared so it is ready just to pop straight in the oven. Pheasant goes well with many different flavours such as: bay leaf, cayenne, cloves, garlic, juniper berries, leeks, lemongrass, onion, black and white and green peppercorns, paprika, rosemary, sage,thyme
Oven Ready Pheasants are a very lean bird and will dry out quickly when cooking, it is therefore very important not to over cook the Pheasant as it will spoil the flavour of the bird. To help the bird from drying out when cooking after seasoning place strips of streaky bacon on the breast and legs of the bird.
To roast your Oven Ready Pheasant:
Preheat oven 220C , 200C Fan , Gas Mark 7

15 minutes before end of cooking remove the bacon to allow the skin to crisp.
