Instructions
- 1 Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
- 2 Stir rosemary and thyme into olive oil in a liquid measure; set aside. Rub pheasant inside and out with salt and pepper.
- 3 Place into a close-fitting roasting pan. Pour herb oil over pheasant.
- 4 Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, then cover with aluminum foil and continue baking until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, reads 180 degrees F (82 degrees C), about 1 hour more. Baste pheasant with pan juices every 30 minutes during baking. Remove from the oven, cover with a doubled sheet of aluminum foil, and allow to rest in a warm area for 10 minutes before slicing.
