Steps
- In a small bowl, whisk together honey, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to create the marinade.
- Place the pheasant breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Remove the pheasant from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off, and discard the marinade.
- Grill the pheasant breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F) and they are cooked through.
- Once done, remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Serve warm, drizzled with any remaining juices from the grill.
