Cooking guidelines from defrosted: defrost the pheasant for at least 24 hours in the fridge. Before cooking remove all packaging. Pat dry with kitchen paper and allow the pheasant to come to room temperature for 20-30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 180°C / fan 160°C / gas 4. Place the pheasant into a roasting tray, and dot with butter. Place the dish in the centre of the oven and cook a 750-800g pheasant for 65-70 minutes. For a pheasant weighing between 800g-1kg add a further 5 minutes to the cooking time. To ensure the bird does not overcook and dry out check 10 minutes before the end of the cooking time by testing through the width of the bird with a skewer to check if the pheasant is cooked and to ensure the juices are clear. Alternatively, cook using a meat thermometer which should be set at 75°C. Remove the pheasant from the oven and leave to rest covered with foil for up to 15 minutes. To serve, carefully remove all strings and carve crosswise so each slice contains stuffing.
Ensure product is piping hot throughout.
Cooking appliances vary in performance, these are guidelines only.
Chef's tip: turning off the fan will help keep the bird moist, as pheasant can dry out during cooking. If you wish, you can baste the bird twice during cooking with a little extra butter to help keep the meat more moist. Use any remaining juices in the roasting tray to make a jus/gravy to serve with the pheasant.
