Indulge yourself in this simple one-pot pheasant, nestled in a dutch oven with layers of bread, bacon, apple, cider and a generous splash of brandy. Nothing better suits the cold, grey days than this hearty winter warmer served with roasted vegetables or a crisp watercress salad.
Spatch-cocking the pheasant means it can lie flat when grilled. It cooks at a relatively high temperature, allowing the skin to crisp on the outside, whilst the meat remains juicy and tender.
