- Stir rosemary and thyme into olive oil in a liquid measure; set aside.
- Rub pheasant inside and out with salt and pepper. Place into a close-fitting roasting pan. Pour herb oil over pheasant.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, then cover with aluminum foil and continue baking until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, reads 180 degrees F (82 degrees C), about 1 hour more. Baste pheasant with pan juices every 30 minutes during baking.
- Remove from the oven, cover with a doubled sheet of aluminum foil, and allow to rest in a warm area for 10 minutes before slicing.
