OJR Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 I don't have a clue and don't really care to know! I have 3 1/2 +pounds of filets in the refrigerator for a great feed tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierbuck Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 Last batch i did up was like this: Marinate in red wine for the better part of a day. Then i dredged in flour, salt and pepper and brown in a skillet with olive oil. Then put in a pressure cooker and cook at 10 pounds pressure for 20-25 minutes. That's the best squirrel I ever ate except for when grandma made biscuits and gravy with squirrel in the gravy. Part of that factor was that grandma made that.

gzilla45 Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 I cook mine about 4-5 hours in a crock pot with a little onion soup mix and cream of mushroom soup. Excellent over mashed taters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

backwoods07 Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Usually fry them, don't eat them too often though. Agreed. People will start to think you're really strange if you eat nothing but squirrels. That's why, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCH Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Cut the squirrel into pieces. Wrap in tin foil along with with salt, pepper and butter. Close the tin foil up tight and bury it in the hot coals from your campfire. Let cook for about 15-30 minutes, checking occasionally.

cade Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 I take some Budweiser Honey BBQ mix in some crushed red pepper, some Jamaican (spelling?) Me Crazy Sea Salt(Garlic, sea salt and pepper mix) and some Garlic Texas Pete, coat that lil' bugger down, wrap him in foil, grill him up. Then take the aforementioned mix again, put the cooked squirrel in a pot with extra mix and heat him up again, and man, how bout' some freak nasty good vittles.

You deep fry a squirrel without doing some pressure cooking before you do, and the batter of yours is the only thing you'll be able to eat.

brownie65 Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 You deep fry a squirrel without doing some pressure cooking before you do, and the batter of yours is the only thing you'll be able to eat. Depends on the age of the squirrel. You can fry nice young ones & they are good and tender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie65 Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 I like them fried,baked,grilled, in the crockpot. Very tasty. Prefer nice young ones to the old tough ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxStarr Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 My grandmother loved squirrel! The old ones she used for dumplings. Just boil them and take the meat off the bones. You want to make sure you strain the water you boiled them in to get all the bones out. Then cook the dumplings in the juice, add the meat back in in the last ten minutes or so. The young ones she chicken fried. Soak in water in a bowl in the fridge for a few days (until all the blood soaked out), soak in sour milk for a few hours or overnight, salt and pepper, dredge in milk/egg and flour and fry slow in a cast iron skillet. Sometimes she would make milk gravy with the drippings and put the squirrel back in the gravy. Oh my goodness that was awesome! We would skin the head out and she would chicken fry it whole so we could eat the brains and tongue. Sure was good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 We would skin the head out and she would chicken fry it whole so we could eat the brains and tongue. Sure was good! I remember taking a tablespoon and knocking the skulls to dig the brains out. I never was a big fan of that part of it, but I can appreciate in the old days people didn't waste an ounce of meat.

brownie65 Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 Oh yea, the chicken fried way with the gravy is my favorite. Have me hungry now. I know a couple guys that like to fry the brains & eat them. Has eggs with them. Thats not for me though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a couple guys that like to fry the brains & eat them. Has eggs with them. Thats not for me though. It takes too many squirrels for that. Now we used to take deer brains and scramble them with eggs and onion. Pretty good. Plus it stopped people from dropping by just to eat!!
