Just breast or whole birds?
If whole my favorite is Beer can style or just oiled and seasoned and put on the grill.
If just breasts my favorites are a Crack chicken recipe, grilled rolled in franks hot wing sauce, grilled and thrown in noodles and pesto sauce.
Be careful, pheasant is extremely lean and dries out very quick

Debone the breast and brine in Lanes BBQ - Sweet Tea Brine. Typically sold at any BBQ/Green Egg/Pellet smoker place where other seasoning are sold. Simply follow the amount suggested for chicken.
After brining 4hrs or overnight. Remove breast rinse cold water, pat dry.
Fire up the grill
Then take Philadelphia cream cheese, cut into small pieces (say 1/4in thick on width of block). You can put the block in the freezer for a little while ahead of time to make it easier to cut.
Next cut peppers (heat of your liking – (jalapeño, serrano, hatch, banana, or bell, etc.)) into strips about 1/2in. wide.
Take a piece of bacon lay flat or cutting board or other surface, place pheasant breast on top of bacon. Next place piece of cream cheese on top of breast followed by a piece of pepper. Wrap bacon around breast covering pepper and cheese. Secure with wooden toothpicks. You can cut the breast into smaller pieces to make several pieces
Make a small amount of butter/garlic sauce for basting, don’t burn the garlic or you can cheat with garlic powder.
Cook bacon wrapped breast on the grill, turning regularly to avoid burning the bacon. When almost ready lightly baste breast with garlic butter sauce. Take off grill and let rest.
You can add any side you like to this.
Remember to watch out or remove toothpicks before eating.
We prefer the beast on the medium rare side. But if you go to far, they will dry out.
Enjoy.
