Directions
Brined Roast Pheasant ” Outdoor Wisconsin” Style,Brining really is the way to go with pheasant, to keep it moist and also to “cut” some of that rich gaminess. This brine recipe is from the television show “Outdoor Wisconsin”; I like to keep the bird in it overnight then roast with plenty of butter under the breast skin and plenty of basting. You can also arrange bacon slices over the breast to keep it moist. Prep time includes overnight brining.,Skip garlic in the brine and add juniper berries in place.,We made this last night and it was wonderful. My brother gave us several pheasants and this was the first recipe we have tried. The reviews are accurate. It was moist and tasted delicious.
