Do you wet them then roll in flour or do you egg them and roll in flour?
Olive oil? Vegi Oil?
I have a few in my freezer
Last time I cooked squirrel I grilled it and ate with grilled asparagus and spaghetti

Re: RECIPES
red squirrel or gray? We have a ton of squirrels here but I never thought of eating one LOL, I have heard of it but never got into the particulars of it.
I make jerkey and pickles often if any one wants recipes for that

gray squirrel. I don't think red squirrels exist in VA. If they do I've never seen them

Re: RECIPES
Doc, reds are more popular around farmland, especially here in the western portion. They tend to be much bigger and tougher too. My favorite is pressure cooked or boiled then toss in crock pot and cook until meat falls bones, remove bones and add barbecue sauce back in. The naturally stringy meat makes a great barbecue. Other than that, fried in an iron skilled with butter, rolled in flour and sprinkled with salt and pepper and some biscuits
. Don't forget to make gravy out of the drippings in the skillet

Nice I'll have to try that. Last time I cooked I marinated in Red wine(yes I know you're suppose to use white wine for white meat) for 20 minutes, rubbed some montreal steak seasoning into them and grilled.
MMMMh mmmh good

Re: RECIPES
I can't get the wife to eat them anymore. She saw them freshly skinned and said they looked like the unborn and won't touch them now. Almost a waste of time for me to fix them for myself. I usually give mine to my mom, she loves tree rat
. I don't get after them like i use to, I need to spend more time chasing squirrels and less time after deer and predators. They are a blast to hunt with a rifle.

Re: RECIPES
We should meet up sometime for a spring squirrel hunt. I love it. Squirrel and rabbit = more trigger time than deer hunting

Re: RECIPES
I have a hard time killing the flea bitten bastards this time of year. I usually wait in the fall until after a few frosts before shooting them too. Right now it's hard for me to look up for squirrels when the morrels are down by your feet. Mushrooms kill my spring hunting

Re: RECIPES
3 or 4 young squirrels in a crock pot all day with a little water, lima beans and corn. When you get home, add a couple pinches of seasoning. Voila. Brunswick Stew. The meat literally comes off the bones. Delicious.

Re: RECIPES
3 or 4 young grays. Stuff the rib cage with a mixture of pork sausage, diced onions, diced jalapenos, olive oil, black pepper, seasoned salt and garlic powder. Double wrap in aluminum foil drizzle more olive oil before sealing and throw them on the fire or grill for 45min to an hour.
They make great appetizers at hunting camp or anytime.

Re: RECIPES
I had some fried squirrel last night. They were home squirrels too, but we had been at war over some bird feeders for some time, and they refuse to own weapons...
1 cup flour
3 Tsp. of seasoned salt
1 egg
2 T. milk
1 squirrel, cut up.
Vegetable oil.
Mix flour and seasoned salt on paper plate. Mix egg and milk in bowl. Dip pieces of cut up squirrel in egg mixture, then roll in flour mixture. Then places pices in hot vegetable oil in skillet. Brown. Remove and place in roasting pan. Bake in 275 degrees oven for approximately 1 hour.
I fried 4 so I increased the ingredients accordingly.
I haven't had groundhog in awhile but I called my 89 year old grandmother about it expecting her to laugh. Instead, she immediately turned serious and said, "Get a pen."
1 large onion
1 quart water
1 ground hog
some flour
Cut the onion up and put in water used to parboil the meat. Parboil 3 times, drain off water and onion. Roll the meat in flour and fry.

Re: RECIPES
I've been cooking squirrels buffalo-style lately. I roll them in Hooters brand breading, fry them in oil, then cover them with Hooters wing sauce. Easy to do and very tasty.

Re: RECIPES
For those that like to fry with a thicker bread crumb coating dip the pieces of meat in milk, then into the flour, then quickly into egg mixture, then into italian bread crumbs (Progresso), then fry in oil (vegetable or olive oil).

I've been told the coyote is one of the few critters that if you get it past your nose you'll refuse to swallow unless you are starving.

Actually, you'll get a nicer coating if you do dip in milk first, then flour, then egg, then bread crumbs (like Progresso Parmesan crumbs); if the pieces are small enough can fry in olive oil, with a little italian seasoning.
