Ridge runner nailed it. IMO, you don't have to boil though. Just brown them in a pan, then add a little liquid, cover the pan and simmer until tender.

I really like Brunswick Stew, which is commonly made with squirrel. Just google it, select one of the recipies that come up.

get about 4 of em and cut into pieces and throw in a slow cooker along with carrots, potatoes, onions, some creole seasoning and let cook 2hrs. Afterwardsmix a package of brown gravy mix in a bowlof hot water, add to slow cooker and let cook for 30mins. Cook you a nice pot of rice and you are all set. Be prepared to share because your neighbors will surround the house like cats hearing a bag of meow mix being opened.

I've found that most poultry recipes lend themselves well to tree rats. Squirrel and dumplins, fried squirrel, squirrel stew, squirrel Wellington, squirrel gumbo...

I'm a fan of them fried in pieces, coated with a spicy bbq sauce, and dip 'em like wings. So good. Gotta go kill some squirrels now.

I don't have any squirrel left in the freezer -- now I am going to have to go out and get some more -- makin' me hungry! Kevin1 is right-- just about any chicken recipe will translate well with squirrel or Rabbit for that matter--if you can find some.

good luck and good huntin'
