How to Make Baked Pheasant In Wine Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. Cut pheasant into 8 serving pieces. Toss pheasant pieces in 1/2 cup all-purpose flour seasoned with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Brown pheasant pieces on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove pheasant and set aside.
  4. Add 1 diced onion (1 cup) and 2 diced carrots (1 cup) to the skillet. Sauté for 5 minutes until softened.
  5. Add 2 cloves minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute more.
  6. Return pheasant to the skillet. Pour in 1 cup dry red wine, 1/2 cup chicken broth, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  7. Transfer skillet to the preheated oven and simmer for 2-2.5 hours, or until pheasant is tender.
  8. During the last hour of cooking, stir gently and pour in 1/4 cup cooking sherry.
