Two more days and squirrel season opens here in Tennessee.  I went back and looked up a post from last season's squirrel hunting adventures and thought I would share it.  Enjoy.

Ours starts next month and I will be watching this post and trying out some recipes. There are few variations of SQ+dumplings that are high on my list. Anyone have a good one for cooking in a Dutch Oven?

Here
First, get a squirrel and dress it so that the entire squirrel is whole. That means legs, backstraps, everything. Next, par boil it for 1-20 hours, although this is only necessary if you have trouble tearing through the squirrel. Then, prepare some eggwash, mix one egg for every squirrel, with 1/2 cup of water, with some black pepper. Coat the squirrel(s). Then, prepare some flour with lots of black pepper and some red pepper if you want, and salt to your liking. Start with FRESH, CLEAN, UNUSED vegetable oil. Fry for about 11 minutes on 350 degrees.
GRAVY!!
while the squirrel cooks, pour a tablespoon of vegetable oil in a skillet. Put a cup of flour in there and brown it. Then mix a half cup of water and flour together and pour in.  From, there add minced onions and some garlic if you want. And then adjust, including how thick you want the gravy to be ( I like it thin so it can be spread all over the squirrel), how salty you want it to be, how much pepper to you want in it, and how dark you want it. Serve over squirrel and rice, get a can of arizona sweet tea, and enjoy!!
