How do you cook squirrel?
 
I love to hunt squirrels but i have someone else prepare my small game rather than me because i just dont know how. i am looking for simple ways to cook squirrels and maybe even a little bit of tips on methods of cleaning so i can get the most out of my hunt.

preferably id like to know ways i could cook on a camp stove and outside. will the MSR pocket rocket be sufficient enough to cook squirrel? thanks.

I haven't tried it yet, but my uncle swears by a cast iron pot, filled with squirrel and cream of mushroom soup.

I like this way. Its fast and easy and doesn't take much time.
1 cup flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp fresh black pepper
toss it all in a ziploc bag with your squirrel. For me its just the rear legs.
shake well and set aside.
Cast iron fry pan 1/4 inch of vegetable oil or crisco if you like it like fried chicken.
Heat the oil up probably about 375 deg. I just guess when I think its ready.
Shake your mix bag again and start placing the legs into the pan cook about 90 secs until a nice brown squirrel should boil when it hits the pan. flip and cook for 90 secs or until a nice brown. Pull out place on paper towel to drain a little and Chow
Simple fast easy to prepare at home or out hunting.

I rolled them in flour seasoned with hot paprika, garlic, ground pepper, montreal steak spice,cayenne and drop them in a cast iron fry pan. A side of deep fried potatoes and dinner is served. If I wanted to take the time, I laid them in a roaster and cooked them at 300 with a little sherry for moisture.

That is the way they are cooked in my house. The pressure cooker makes them tender.

my mother used to boil them in salt water then shred the meat off the bone. she would then make pot pie out of them. took a lot of squirrels but it was always good. homemade bisquits to go with it.

Dutch Oven... or a pressure cooker and some wine

I use to just fry in butter to a golden brown, salt and pepper and chow down. Some good recipes from you guys also.

Dip in eggs, throw in a bag with bisquick, seasoning salt, paprika or whatever you want, and fry.

I personally just like to throw 'em on the grill

I've made them by wrapping the cleaned squirrel in aluminum foil with salsa and frozen corn. Then I baked the packets in a preheated oven @ 375 F for 20-25 minutes. The moisture from the salsa and corn make steam in the packet and make the meat tender.
