1

Prepare two wild pheasants, ensuring to check for shot pellets inside.

Preheat the grill to about 170°C (338°F) using the outer burners.

Lightly oil the pheasants with sunflower oil and season with wild seasoning, salt, and pepper.

4

Stuff the pheasants with fresh herbs and apple pieces for flavor during grilling.

5

Slice the red onion and mix it in a bowl with port wine, salt, and pepper.

6

Place the pheasants on a rack over a tray to catch drippings, and cover them with bacon strips to prevent drying out.

7

Grill the pheasants for about 1 hour, checking for an internal temperature of 70°C (158°F).

8

After 45 minutes, sauté the mushrooms in a hot cast iron skillet with salt until browned and water is released.

9

Add the sautéed mushrooms and diced bacon to the sauce mixture, stirring in the remaining port wine.

10

Increase the grill temperature to 200°C (392°F) and let the pheasants brown while the sauce simmers.

After 1.5 hours, remove the pheasants from the grill and let them rest before serving with the sauce.
