CHICKEN FRIED PHEASANT



Chicken Fried Pheasant image

Family favorite around bird hunting season. Chicken fried pheasant is so simple and good, and unless you tell them, they don't have a clue it's wild game. Uses few ingredients, prep and cooking time are minimal. The first problem is getting the bird in the first place, if you're a hunter! The second problem is there are NEVER any leftovers, no matter how much you cook. Makes wonderful cold sandwiches IF there is anything leftover!

  • Dredge the pheasant in flour. This will help to create a crispy coating.
  • Fry the pheasant in batches. Do not overcrowd the pan, or the pheasant will not cook evenly.
