Directions:
Preheat oven to 250º F.

Stir the chopped rosemary and thyme into the olive oil and set aside. Rub the pheasant inside and out with salt and pepper. Place into a close-fitting roasting pan. Pour the herb oil over top.

Bake the pheasant in the preheated oven for 1 hour (baste the pheasant with the hot oil and juices from the pan every 30 minutes while cooking), then cover with aluminum foil, and continue baking an additional hour, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone reads 180º F.

Remove from the oven, cover with aluminum foil, and allow to rest in a warm area for 10 minutes before slicing.
