Cooked these on the grill after brining in pickling salt, water, orange juice, brown sugar. Then put them on Red Bull cans filled with Tecate. When they were almost done I brushed them with a valencia orange juice reduction that included dried and fresh cranberries, garlic, seasoned salt and butter. They were great! I had never tried pheasant before, mainly due to their price, 16 bucks for a small bird, but then again duck, and geese are pricey too at least the domestic varieties are.

Tyler, you kinda skeered me there fer a minit...
I thought you beer-caned the birds with red-bull.... Sad

I see now that the skinny cans were used to hold a proper liquid Very Happy

that orange-cranberry glaze sounds real good.
price-wise, what about the little Cornish chickens? they're about the same size.

The cornish hens are about half the size of these pheasants especially the littlest ones you can buy. I think the bigger cornish hens are about 2/3rds the size.

I am sure those cornish hens would be great too after all chickens are just domesticated pheasants anyway. But that being said these pheasants were a bit different. A bit more tendons and sinew on the legs but really very good.
