FAQ
How do you grill squirrels?
As soon as the marinated squirrel pieces are tender, quickly finish them on the direct side of the grill to crisp them up and get nice grill marks. Prepare a grill for indirect heat. Place the marinated squirrel pieces on the cool side of the grill. Roast slowly with the lid closed, turning occasionally, for 20 to 30 minutes.
What does squirrel tastes like?
Heat the oil to about 350 degrees in a large skillet, dutch oven, or deep fryer. Fry the squirrel one to two pieces at a time until golden brown on all sides, making sure each piece has plenty of room and the oil temperature doesn’t drop too quickly.
How do you cook squirrels to make them tender?
Squirrel meat is sweet, light in color, and finely textured, tasting like a more subdued version of rabbit, according to some who claim the flavor tastes like a cross between rabbit and chicken with a hint of nuts.
