  • Poached Whole Pheasant.
    This is an easy and fool proof way of cooking a whole pheasant, either skin on or skin off. You are left with wonderffully moist and tender and juicy meat. Poached in chicken stock, it couldnt be easier, and the results are fantastic, for any age bird..

    I have a friend who is a gamekeeper so I have been able to experiment with cooking lots of pheasant. The skill first is gauging the seasonal temperature and knowing how long to hang.
    Once prepared I find it works well with oriental spices (such as star anise), apples, cider, bacon, sweet and sour sauce and it also curries well, jointed and cooked on the bone. This video shows just how well it can cook by simple poaching. Cooks start thinking where to go from here!

    Nice one Scott. When back in England, sometimes a pheasant would commit hari kari by throwing itself in front of the car. Being the pheasant plucker that I am I used to pluck, dress them and occasionally have to do a bit of surgical repair work for aesthetics. Always a bit dry after roasting. Never thought of boiling them.

    • @FunkyFyreMunky
      @FunkyFyreMunky 5 років тому +1

      Pheasants, unlike chicken, have very little fat under their thin skin so there's not a lot of moisture leeking into the meat from there. I always do away with the skin (life's too short for plucking) and create a lattice of streaky bacon over the crown, maybe wrap a piece around each leg. Cook the bird until the bacon gets super crispy and it's done. Constant, thorough basting done entirely by the bacon. I've never had a dry bird roasting this way and the salty fat of the bacon means you don't even have to season your bird beforehand.

  • @Molach101
    @Molach101 6 років тому +6

    Great video Scott. My understanding is that we used to eat boiled/poached chicken far more often than roasted. Most chickens eaten by working people were old laying hens and took thorough cooking to get tender, or even cockerels - think of how many dishes we have that were designed for tough old birds. Cooking gently in stock is the most foolproof method of cooking any meat I reckon, as you've said in the past though just make sure you cook it gently so it doesn't dry out/toughen up.

  • @FunkyFyreMunky
    @FunkyFyreMunky 5 років тому +2

    I found that the best way to roast a pheasant (particularly as I use the "step and pull" method of field-dressing. Life's too short for plucking.) is to make a lattice-work of streaky bacon on the pheasant crown and roast until the bacon turns crispy. When the bacon is on the crispy side of edible, then the bird is done and has been thoroughly, constantly basted by the bacon fat. I've never had a dry bird when cooking this way.

  • @christopherbiegel9553
    @christopherbiegel9553 6 років тому +8

    I bet if you started with really good chicken stock you could make some fantastic soup, risotto, etc when you were done poaching the pheasant. You could even add the leftover bones back in to simmer for even more pheasant flavor. YUM!

    @SheldonBeldon 6 років тому +1

    I haven't tried this but I usually don't like to boil meat, because a lot of the flavor (flavour) is extracted into the water (boiling liquid). I think it's better to brine it overnight and spatchcock it, and cook it after drying the outside thoroughly on high heat in the oven. You are a much better cook than I, so that's just my opinion.

    Hi Scot, you should consider getting one of those small blow/welding torches that fancy chef's use to brown food. Then you could cook small game birds like this and have crispy skin,. Its Christmas put on your wish list!

    I used to raise pheasant, delicious birds, but far more succulent if the 'spur' on the leg is not hardend. If the spur has hardend the bird will lend itself to slow braising better in a rich gravy.
