Pheasant

[Ladys man]

So one of my wife's clients brought her about 10 birds. What's the best way to cook these?
Neither of us has cooked them, she has eaten once when she was young and I can't remember if I have.
I want to grill/smoke.
She wants to crockpot.

Any advise is awesome.

Can't help with a recipe, but this reminded me of one of the ladies at the facility I used to work at. Every time I would bring her meal to her, she would say "what are we having tonight, pheasant under glass?" After the first few times and figuring out she liked to kid around i would respond with "Nope. Possum under foil!" She would just cackle and laugh like it was the funniest thing ever lol.

Pheasant tends to be lean and dry- plan accordingly. I wouldn't grill/smoke unless I had a plan for adding some moisture or fat into it

We used to bake them and baste with butter.

Cook in a pressure cooker. Pull all the meat off the carcass. Make a Pheasant casserole.
