Hunting and Cooking Montana Pheasants with Ryan Callaghan and Chef Kevin Gillespie

  • Ol Cal, Chef Kevin, and Snort knock off work a bit early one day to hunt some of the last of the season’s Montana pheasants. With a couple plump roosters in hand they return to Cal’s place so that Kevin can show him a classic French dish that transforms the tough to use legs and thighs of the pheasant into a meal fit for a king; or at least a hungry upland hunter.

    Hunting over corn and cooking pheasant legs for hours is really making the common hunter think this is the way ;)
    Public land pheasant legs, some steak seasoning, cast iron with bacon grease, and finishing off with your favorite BBQ dry seasoning works well also.

    I’ve always felt that meat I’ve procured myself (fish, deer, pheasant, etc) tastes better even with simple recipes (like breaded and fried fish filets) than the same thing in restaurants. Even places that are halfway decent at preparing good food or use ‘fresh caught’ ingredients. And I think it’s psychological, you not only know where the meat came from but you put in the effort to get it. And so there’s what I call the ‘victory flavor’ to it.
