now see? this is just why i love this site...terrific recipes and terrific people. i live in jersey and i'd have no quams over eating squirrel if it were served to me in this meal. i agree; sounds good. -
I didn't have squirrel on hand so I used chicken per another reviewers suggestion. (used to love the fried squirrel my grandma used to make)I thought this dish was just terrific. I hope to have squirrel next time and invite Lalaloob over for this dish with some chitlins' and pickled pork feet. OMG. -
Sounds great!!! Can't wait to try it. -
Not everything one cooks need to be something one could eat in a Highbrow French restaurant;simple foods have their place. Even living in KY, I had never tried Squirrel. Now I think I might; it sounds good Chuck. Lalaboob, learn some courtesy -
Someone thought enough of this recipe to post it and it would be equally good with chicken or rabbit. Of course those who disagree just give it a bad rating for whatever stupid reason. Now I might have to make this just because!

I’m over the hill and heading down the back side at a rapid rate it seems, single, and retired now.
My loves? Good friends, most of all. After that I guess it would be wildlife and photographing it. In fact, I love anything that deals with wild animals and the outdoors. Then comes playing with my dog and making a mess trying to cook in the kitchen or around the fire pit, grill or smoker while enjoying a good tumbler of whiskey (whisky).
