How do you cook your squirrel?
 
I grilled my first batch of the season. They were pretty good, just not very tender. Probably should have boiled them a little first.

Got any good recipies?

Pan fried with gravy or crock pot with cream of mushroom soup. I personally like my squirrel crispy so I normally fry them.

get a small pressure cooker and pressure cook them 1/2 hour before you do anything else, then fix them how ya want, I like them dredged in seasoned flour and fried.

I need to try the pressure cooker.

I cooked some in the crock pot yesterday that tasted great.

Here's the recipe if you guys want to try it.

3-5 squirrel quartered
1 can of chicken broth
1 can of cream of mushroom
Carrots
Chopped celery
Chicken bullion cubes
A little salt and pepper
Add water until covered

Cook for around 6-8 hours or until tender. Take squirrel out and debone. Put back in and add some seasoned flour until its like a gravy.

Make some mashed potatoes and put it on them. I guarantee you'll like it

And that defeats the purpose a social hunting forum. There is tons of BS on the interweb, but there are a lot of experienced seasoned hunters here.

you do keep the back piece with the loins on it don't ya, that makes 5 pieces, and the back piece is the best. you can also fry them after pressure cooking like I described then make gravy in the skillet afterwards, when the gravy is done add the squirrel back to the gravy, serve over smashed taters. I'm no paula dean but I'm not gonna starve, I do pretty well with wild game and fish

I use a rub that has 4 different kinds of flavored salts in it, And I add 2-3 herbs that go good with chicken, And then I rub it really good, rest it in the fridge over night to draw out the moisture, and then I go ahead warm up my pit and smoke it with Cherry wood and Oak Wood.

I rolled in flour, salt, and pepper, fried two squirrels cut up in an iron skillet, then put them in a crock pot with brown gravy for about 3 1/2 hours, on rice boy were they tender, and tasty.


Yummy

Brown in a skillet. Put in oven covered with brown onion gravy and finish in oven. Pour that over a bed rice. Enjoy.....tony
