Chuckar Recipes???

[Missed160]

I went to a game farm over the weekend - brought home some pheasants and Chuckar breasts..

I have never had Chuckar before, Look a lot like grouse breasts -

I assume I can cook them like grouse, but looking for some ideas from anyone who has ideas on how to cook them...

Yep, they're a lot like grouse. Or miniature pheasant. Like those two, chuckar has a tendency to get pretty dry, pretty quick. I marinate them in Italian dressing for a few days and grill them. Really have to watch them though; it doesn't take long for them to get dried out.

That or in a crock pot on low with a touch of white wine and cream of mushroom/chicken soup on super low heat for only a few hours. Doesn't take long.

I think they taste like a cornish hen.

I have a simple Chukar recipe that will prolly work as well with pheasant.

Clean the bird(s) and quarter.

Put the pieces in a baking pan with sides. Cake pan works.

Put in a can of cream of chicken soup. Cream of mushroom is Ok, too. Mix the soup with water, not milk. Dunno why. Milk may work, too, but tastes fine with water and less fat.

Cover with foil. Bake at 250 F until bird is cooked through. Maybe 2 hours.

Serve with steamed rice. The soup makes a nice gravy for the bird & rice.

My favorite recipe for Chukar (and pheasant). I serve these as appetizers but you can cook them as a meal.

Cube breasts onto 3/4 inch x 3/4 inch cubes.

Place cubes into a baggie and add 2 parts soy sauce and 1 part Southern Comfort. For a small baggie I usually add 1/4 cup soy sauce and 1/8 cup Southern Comfort.

Close the bag and marinate for a minimum of 4 hours. I usually let the bag sit over night.

Cook in a deep fryer for about 2-4 minutes (until the cubes start to float). They tatse realy sweet and are always a hit at my parties for even those that do not like wild game.

Good luck to all

I came up with this a few years ago.....

MY FAVOURITE CHUKAR

2 whole roast chukar and White Sauce

1 cup instant rice(or your fav)

1 cup chicken broth/stock 2TBSP butter or marg

8oz fresh sliced mushrooms(fried) 6oz milk

8oz fresh or frozen broccoli(cooked) flour

6oz precooked, thawed, small shrimp(optional

Roast chukar. Remove breast and thigh/leg meat, set aside and keep warm.Bring chicken stock to boil in small saucepan, add rice, cover and remove from heat. Prepare broccoli and mushrooms and set aside. To make white sauce, melt marg or butter in small saucepan over med heat. Add enough flour to make a paste, strirring constantly. SLOWLY add milk(still stirring) to paste to make med thick sauce. Salt to taste.

Add shrimp tp sauce. After one minute, add broccoli and mushrooms to sauce. Immediately pour over meat that has been previously arranged on two dinner plates.Arrange rice on plate and serve. Homemade coleslaw and a nice medium dry white wine goes well with this. Enjoy.

You may substitute egg noodles for the rice.
