Hickory or applewood chips
-or chunks for smoking
2 tb Whiskey or water
1/2 ts Salt
1/2 ts Sugar

3. Arrange boned pheasant thighs and breasts and the drumsticks on
rack in smoker or roasting pan. Brush with whiskey. Sprinkle with

aluminum foil. Place over 2 burners of range, Heat over medium-high
heat until smoke is produced. Lower heat and smoke pheasant 15
minutes. Turn off heat; allow pheasant to stand 5 minutes before
cover is removed. (If using roasting pan on electric range, shake pan
occasionally so wood burns evenly.)

Apple Barbecue Sauce: In a heavy 1-quart saucepan, combine 1 C
applesauce, 1/4 C firmly packed light-brown sugar, 2 T cider vinegar,
1/2 t chili powder, and 1/4 t ground cloves. Heat to boiling over

knife, cut peel or rind and all membrane off 1 orange; cut peeled
orange crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Reserve peel.
2. Place half of the orange slices on breast meat under the skin of
each bird. Tuck wing tips under back to hold neck skin down. Place 1
carrot quarter, 1 onion quarter, and half of the orange peel inside
each body cavity. Using kitchen string, tie the legs of each pheasant
together.
3. In 2-quart saucepan, melt butter; remove from heat. Place
pheasants, breast sides up, on rack in a large roasting pan. Brush
