Here is how I cook wild squirrel, and it’s great.
Season it with your favorite rub.
Smoke it for about an hour and a half at 225 to 250.
After smoking it:
Place it in a foil pan with beer, butter, and brown sugar so the squirrel is about half in the liquid mixture. Cover the pan tightly with foil. Don’t go too heavy on the sugar. It’ll be too sweet.
Cook for about another hour and a half. Check for fork tenderness a few times during the cook.
Remove from braising liquid, place back on the grill/smoker to dry up the exterior a bit (you don’t have to do this step).

Smoke then make into pot pie.

Squirrels have too little fat, and almost no intramuscular fat to get tender on a grill/smoker. They do best braised and cooked low/slow in a bit of liquid.

Buttermilk brine overnight, batter and fry.

Squirrel gravy
ppcpilot
Brown up some onions and bell pepper, some garlic at the end. Take out the veggies and brown the squirrels. Put veggies back in and add a can of Rotel tomatoes. Cover, simmer for an hour or so. Serve over rice. It’s delish.

If you do it like a pot roast in a Dutch oven it turns out great. Toss in some mushrooms with it and gravyfy all the juices and you got yourself a fuckin winner. A splash of red wine in it or a light marinading of red wine helps as well.

Squirrel is too high in cholesterol for me
