    Default Best Squirrel Recipes

    What are some of your favorite squirrel recipes? I’ve resisted deleting any of my ‘emergency protein’ source for a long time, but they may need to get thinned out this year. Figured it’s time to start thinking ahead for once.

    Fried with gravy
    Stew
    You can smoke them with a pan of chicken broth underneath and then pull them apart and add barbecue sauce and make pulled squirrel sandwiches

    The best thing I found yet is to give them away

    My Great Aunt Mary Dial in Laurens would cook us squirrel and dumplings when we killed enough to make a batch. I would love to have her recipe...

    If I was better at AI I’d have a series of pics made of you dressed in fatigues talking to Forrest Gump saying Squirrel is chicken of the tree and then listing all the ways you can cook it. Use your imagination.

    Squirrel dumplings are the best!

    Boil yours squirrels in a little chicken stock with a little dry chicken bullion added, salt and black pepper to taste. Boil squirrels whole or quartered. Boil them slow, to fast and they’ll still be a little tough. When you can pull meat off bone with fingers, pull off all the meat set to the side. Bisquick ( granny just made biscuit dough) using the biscuit recipe on box. Mix up, add small amounts of bisquick until you have a stiff dough. I use a dough hook on a kitchen aide. Just right when they don’t stick to side of bowl. Roll out to about 1/4” thick, cut into 2-2 1/2 inch squares ( pizza cutter works good)Taste liquid, adjust with bullion, salt pepper to suit you( add a little more pepper than you think), bring to hard boil start dropping in dumplings. They will puff up at first, push them around some with a wooden spoon so they don’t stick together. Once they start to shrink back down, add in meat back in, cook until dumplings are to consistency you like.

    Sorry, cook squirrel quarters in all that shit. Take them out and shred them. Add back. Then make pot pie. Gooder than mashed taters out of a possums ass

    Soak pieces in salt water for a day. Flour and fry slowly. 45 minutes or so. Make gravy and a pot of grits. Young squirrels .
