I'm sure deep fried pheasant with chips is delicious
especially if its done in pig fat. One of our guides, insisting on keeping the larder full and varied, would always be bringing back an assortment of wild birds, collectively called "mountain chickens." Preparation involved, 1. throw bird into fire until feathers are removed and feet are singed, 2. remove any remaining feathers, and peel scales on the feet, 3. remove organs, set aside, 4. using the back side of the cleaver, pulverize the entire bird until it resembles ground beef, 5. return organs, 6. deep fry with fat, ginger, and garlic. To think of it, chips would go nicely.
