After working on the pulled beef today, I really didn't feel like cooking anything else, but I thawed these out earlier this week and thought I'd better cook them today. I'm always trying to figure out different ways to cook the pheasants I shoot, so I put these in a brine mixture I bought, added a little Wild Turkey American Honey to the mix in keeping with the fowl theme, spatchcocked them, then added some rub. On the Egg at 325* with a little pecan smoke.
Since we already ate dinner, I'll just try a little piece tonight :P
Thanks for looking.

Brian I also have never had it. Do it taste like
chickenSalado TX & 30A FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now). Plus a couple Pit Boss Pellet Smokers. -
I'm interested in how they turned out. I pheasant hunt and usually end up giving them away becaseu they turn out so dry (haven't cooked any on the Egg). I need to try them on the Egg, I've got a freezer full of em

Mickey-This one did. Pheasants are dryer than chicken, but with the brine and spatchcock, this was the juciest one I've ever grilled.

Nice job! I was telling the husband as we watched 6 fat does run through our Delaware back yard that we have plenty o deer but no pheasants like where I grew up in PA. That looks so tasty!

Looks really great. Did you pluck those and leave the skin on? We always are in a hurry to clean our birds and just skin them out.
I too am a big believer in brining pheasants. They are so lean they are easy to dry out.
I started shingling them in bacon and it has been wording great. Here's a cook I did last winter with some wild south Dakota
