Ingredients

  • 1 pheasant (1½ to 2 pounds)
  • Salt to taste, if desired
  • Freshly ground pepper to taste

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
  • It is best if the pheasant has been hung. In any event, wipe the outside of the pheasant with a damp cloth. If it has been freshly cleaned, do not wipe the cavity. That would remove some of the special flavor.
