Best Way To Clean And Cook Squirrel

Join us for an OLD SOUTHERN RECIPE for Squirrel Smother Fried with Gravy and Buscuits. I will bake the biscuits in the Dutch Oven and make the Squirrel Gravy in some cast iron. This is the BEST WAY TO COOK SQUIRREL I have have ever tasted.

He does a couple things differently than I did when I ate a lot of squirrel in Georgia.

I've always skinned my squirrels by making a horizontal slit about halfway up the back, then inserting my index and bird fingers into the slit and pulling apart.
Squirrels are pretty hard to skin, though - nothing like a rabbit.

As far as aging goes..... I just put the squirrel into a pan after I've skinned and gutted it, cover it with milk, and let it sit in the refrigerator overnight. That takes the gaminess right out of the meat and it's ready to cook and serve.
