Fried Prairie Chicken Or Pheasant Recipes

CHICKEN FRIED PHEASANT

Steps:

• In a shallow bowl, mix the milk and vinegar. Dip the pheasant slices in the milk and vinegar mixture, then press both side in the cracker crumbs to coat.
• Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the pheasant in the hot oil about 5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

FRIED CHICKEN (LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE)

Steps:

• Place chicken pieces in a large bowl and sprinkle with vinegar and salt.
• Cover with cold water and set aside (I put it in the fridge) for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
• After 30 minutes (or so) heat the oil in a frying pan (I use a cast iron skillet) over medium/high heat. Let the oil come up 1/4 to 1/2 way up the sides of the pan.
• Drain chicken and, one at a time, coat with flour.
• Fry the chicken in hot oil until brown on all sides.
• You can either finish the chicken in oven or lower the heat, so it doesn't burn, and cook the chicken through in the pan.

FRIED PHEASANT

Steps:

• Cut Pheasant Meat from Carcass (I just used the Breast and Thigh Meat Tossing all those little feet far away).
• Rinse Throughly and place in Bowl.
• Salt, Pepper and Season Pheasant turning the meat over to make sure all gets covered.
• Cover bowl and place in fridge for at least 4 hours.
• In Large Heavy Skillet (I used Grandma's Cast Iron) put oil and heat on high until ready to fry.
• Retrieve Pheasant from Fridge.
• In a shallow bowl scramble eggs.
• In another shallow bowl (or plate) put flour in an even layer.
• Dip Pheasant pieces in egg first then coat with flour.
• Place in hot oil and brown on either side (lower heat to medium here so as not to burn the oil).
• The pheasant cooks REALLY fast and is SO tender and moist.
• Carrots and a green salad was an excellent addition to this meal!
