Dredge it in flour and seasonings, brown it in a cast iron skillet, pour mushroom soup over it [can of condensed soup and a can of milk mixed] slice a few slabs of onion on top. Cover and bake at 350* until it falls of the bone. About a hour and a half or two depending on age of the squirrel

Crock pot with a couple inches of water and BBQ sauce and they will melt like pulled pork.

Old tough ones , par boil then dip in milk , flour and dip again and roll in bread crumbs , bake at whatever temperature you prefer , I like a low temp , and covered , then open to crisp . Then dip in your favorite sauce . Young ones skip the parboil .
There's unlimited ways to cook them , as you see above . Love squirrel gravy .

I second and third the Insta pot method. Have cooks squirrels for 40 yrs and nothing has worked better for me. Squirrels, can of cream of shrum or chx soup with 2 cans stringed(julienne) green beans with juice. Good eating.
I've learned enough thru the years to now know that I don't know enough. KNOWLEDGE IS FREEDOM.

Yup.I always liked the taste of squirrels but could never get them tender as I would like,,till I started pressure cooking them.Tender as prime rib now.

Clean it, rinse it, soke it over night with salt water, rinse, dredge through buttermilk, flower, and brown in hot grease. Then 30 min in a pressure cooker or 5 hours in a crock pot. Meat fall off the bones, gravy in the pot, biscuits and hot black coffee makes a meal to make you're eyes roll back in yer head. Oh yea the biscuits really to be home grown buttermilk. Dang I think this thread just kilt 6 more squirrels.
