[Deitz Dittrich]

Yikes does that sound good!!!!

Have you tried it with Chicken for those who dont have any phes and cat wait for season to try this?

[Sifty]

It works well with chicken. You just have to cook it longer.

mmmmmmmmmmmm! hopefully the drool on my keyboard can be replicated after trying this one!!!! I have some breasts in the freezer yet and will have to give this a whirl!!!! Sounds fabulous!

[BLACKJACK]

Looks good, I may have to try this. And simple too, anything over 7-8 ingredients and my eyes start to glaze over... Hopefully the pheasants I pick will be young ones!!!

I just made this and man was it good!! Thanks for sharing it! I injected a little of the marinade into each piece and I also cooked it on the charcoal grille with a chunk of hickory in the charcoal for a little smoky flavor.

[Sifty]

Injecting it in........ now thats a good idea.

Looks like a little I know what where going to be doing this weekend.

If you haven't already try it on the charcoal grille and add a chunk of hickory either soaked or in tin foil to the coals. I liked the little bit of smoky flavor it added.

The other day my dad got a nice gobbler. I just sliced one of the breast into strips and have it in the marinade, it smelled great. Will let you know how it cooked up...

[Dark Cloud]

Well we ate the turkey yesterday after it was in the marinade for two days. Very good to say the least. I took the turkey breast and cut it into 1/2 inch strips and pounded them just a tad with a meat mallet. I followed the recipe but added some salt, pepper, and a 1/3 cup of pineapple juice. The girlfriend was eating canned pineapple when I was makeing the marinade and I couldn't resist adding some of the juice. I grilld the meat on a med-low heat till it was just barely done. 4 of us had it for lunch at our camp and everone said it was the best wild turkey they ever had.

Thanks Sifty for the recipe. I'll be useing it again...

[Sifty]

Sifty, I tried your Grilled Apple Pheasant recipe on the grill last night and its a keeper!!! I had a package of six pheasant breast halves, marinated them for a day, and they turned out excellent!! Nice and moist and tasty! The wife says I can make it again! Thanks!

[harvey lee]

Thanks Chris. This one will get tried for sure as it sounds wonderful.

[Sifty]

Glad to here it is turning out good for everyone.

With Pheasant season here I thought I would bring this back to the top.

Enjoy

We have been seeing lots of grouse while deer hunting and I think of this recipe with everyone I kick out...

[BLACKJACK]

I'm thinking that this would also work on the broiler, I may have to try it.

I actually tried a recipe last week that called for pheasant breasts on the broiler, they turned out good, but the sauce was mostly butter, this one may be healthier!!!
