Fried squirrel and roux gravy!

[Johnny]

That looks good. Now I just have to figure out how to clean a squirrel.

Piece of cake man. Here is the way I do it. Takes absolutely no time at all.

Now that there is some good grub

[McClain]

how do the bones hold up? I tried something like this but without frying the rabbit. There were plenty of little bones that fell out of the meat while cooking, so does the frying help keep everything together?

The loose bones probably come from the rib cage. Its best not to include the rib cage in the gravy if you plan on simmering it a while. Just eat the fried rib cage as an appetizer and put the rest of the animal in gravy to slow cook.

I do that with rabbits. Not enough meat on a sqirrel for me.

Use more squirrels

Fried squirrel is one of my favorite things, but I like your roux, it looks great.

Squirrel is probably my favorite meat. Fried squirrel is great, but squirrel and gravy is my favorite (similar to your recipe). I'll definitely try this one.

The only thing to make this recipe better is to do your cooking in a cast iron pot...

Looks good brings back good memories with my grandmother and grandfather. She could cook squirrel and rabbits like no other.
