Smoke adds flavor to pheasant<\/strong><\/p>\n Smoked pheasant breasts are easy grilling. Just remember that the meat is lean. If you overcook, it ends up dry and chewy. Target temperature for the meat is 165\u00b0F (74\u00b0C). Mesquite smoke adds great flavor but first, seasoning.<\/p>\n I decided to go simple.<\/p>\n Ingredients are:<\/strong><\/p>\n I used my ceramic kamado grill for smoking. I loaded the grill with lump charcoal and placed the heat deflector on top of them. This allows cooking with indirect heat<\/a> and it is the right way to go especially when smoking.<\/p>\n Once grill temperature hit 225\u00b0F (108\u00b0C), I put handful of mesquite wood chips on top of hot charcoal. Then put all the pheasant breasts on the grill grate.<\/p>\n\n

Season your pheasant breasts all over with salt and pepper. Then put them into a kitchen bowl with good splash of olive oil. Mix and put into a fridge for at least 4hrs.<\/p>\n![\"Pheasant](\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0267\/6994\/8843\/files\/Pheasant_breast_3_resized.jpg?v=1624710038\")
