When I was a small child living in Baltimore, my father would stop after work and get us a couple of rabbits and squirrels. My mother would clean and skin them at the kitchen sink. We would have rabbit, squirrel, Lima beans and dumplings for dinner. Most people wouldn't believe this these days. I'm glad you put up this recipe! By the way, I now live in Florida.

Welcome to the party 🤘🏻 Squirrel is good but rabbit is some sweet meat. Fried up rabbit back straps are a thing of beauty my friend. You try it you'll never want chicken strips again

Soak meat in milk or buttermilk. My tip. Like a rabbit. Don't wait a week to make. Try exotic meat market to order anything you want. My Pyrenees are squirrel killers. I don't really have to hunt them. Brown or black squirrels taste the same. Yes there are black squirrels. Pine squirrels are dog food. Like rats. Not worth eating. Skinny tails a tell. Also size. This is a good technique here.

Never thought I would see squirrel any way but pan-fried to perfection and pan-fried tasters, and never ever served as a gourmet meal such as the one shown here! WOW!
Eat a lot of squirrel growing up. Mom would make us pick the lead shot out of pieces before she would fry them.Miss moms fried squirrel.
We had fried squirrel with biscuits and gravy on the side. Yum! I still remember the taste after 80 years.
Love that seasoning the oil trick your granma taught you! Gonna try it
What’s beautiful plate! My brother and I have been looking for different ways to cook squirrel. This will definitely be one of them next season! Thank you!
I,m in Canada we would only joke about eating squirrels and honestly by the time this video finished I thought wow this guy is a top notch chef despite the soft easy on the ears cowboy toned voice ,excellent video I’d totally eat that ,looked absolutely delicious

Do you eat squirrel in your neck of the woods?
I've been cooking for about 50 years and this gentleman knows what he is doing.🙂
I'm a brit, often make game pie, basically whatever meat is available, rabbit, pigeon, squirrel, pheasant, they all go in and its delicious
Now you done flung a craving on me! I love squirrel and gravy that’s cooked for hours
Never had squirrel and gravy, but it really looks good. You also did a excellent job on your plating.
I love and always have loved putting mushrooms and onions in my gravy looks good, going to have to give it a try Thanks
Been awhile,but I loved my squirrel and gravy,mashed potatoes and baby peas. Your recipe looks delicious....
As cute and fun as living squirrels are, I always enjoyed eating this dish growing up. The squirrels in Louisiana used to be particularly fat, and fried squirrel with biscuits and gravy was a family favourite.
great tip to keep squirrel in fridge. That recipe looks incredible.
Man that looks fantastic! I am trying this recipe over the holiday.
Reminds me of my mamaw and her squirrel dumplings. Good stuff!
Love that recipe I'm from Vermont I have eaten a lot of squirrel going to try that 👍
I've eaten a 1000 of them maybe more just like that. Still getting them every hunting season. Love smother fried squirrels with rice. Dang it now I'm hungry Thanks. 👍😎 I'd give you 2 thumbs up if I could.
Ive never been so hungry after watching a cooking video. Love this recipe -- thanks so much!
My word that looks good. Thanks for the video!
I love this. I'll be cooking this at hunt camp ! Thanks for sharing!
I just shot and cleaned my first squirrel yesterday and I’m gonna harvest a few more. and then I’m going to make your recipe sir. it looks delicious. I’ve never had squirrel but why not
I'd love to give this a try.
Holy smokes that looks good, guess I need to get the guys together and do a squirrel hunt. Yum
Making me hungry man . Good ol squirrels with gravy , biscuits, and home grown matter. Key to my heart . Think I’m gonna head to woods this weekend with the 22
Nothing better Then fresh fried squirrel gravy and fresh tomatoes from the garden
Wow, now I want to go out and get some squirrel and make gravy!!! Thank you.
I growed up on squirrel and gravy, mama's recipe was a little bit different, but I'm gonna have to try it your way fer sure. I still eat squirrel regularly, got some in the freezer now. I always soak mine in salt water for a day or two before I cook or freeze it. Good video, thanks.
This looks extremely mouth watering. Miss those Illinois and Indiana squirrels. They were exceptional with much meat.
Looks great! I’ve never had squirrel but wow! Great plating!

Very much the way my grandmothers would have cooked squirrel.nice presentation also.l enjoy your videos. Thanks
I haven't had squirrel meat before but I'd try it after watching this video. Awesome cooking and plating skills.
Mmmmmm. My Grandmother used to cook squirrel and gravy and she made the big biscuits by hand, only she made brown gravy with it. It's nice to see vids like this in here finally.

Difference in the light gravy and brown gravy is the length of time you cook the rue. The longer you cook it the browner it gets.
Very well done video, sir! Nice gentle commentary, great content, good camera work! And the darn food looks really good!
Way better prep than my quick cut and cook...This is gourmet level. Good tips
Bro...this looks delicious and is making me miss my daddy's smothered squirrel. Nice plating and nice job all around!
Awesome stuff!
Planning my first squirrel hunt soon. This is definitely how I’ll be cooking them.
Looks delicious. Mouth watering
Wow. Making my mouth water
Looks good! Thanks for sharing!
Looks so delicious! Impressive presentation
Man that looks perfect !
This one I'm gonna try!
Awesomeness!...That is the same squirrel recipe I use...but I will be trying the rice and pees as an addition!
That recipe is awesome about that time of the year October so sheep head mushroom would be good in there tooI'm definitely going to have to try it though very good
Now that's how it's done. Bravo. I will be doing this next fall. I too will wait until my family is gone. lol.

I'm a bit of an animal but I have to admit, that's a nice looking plate of food. Nicely done.

YUMMYYYYYYY !!!!!!!! Great job!!
Great job at presenting squirrel, truly a chefs job . I'm impressed.
Great method's
Wonderful video You are a perfectionist my friend.. Our season opens August first and around Labor Day they're on the hickory nuts. My. eleven year old Grandson has a new scoped .22 to try out. My mouth is watering
I always boil mine to tenderize let it cool flour it pan fry it, same for dumplings my granny called it par boiling
By God that looks great
Great video bro👍🏾👍🏾
Man do I miss me some good squirrel and gravy. I guess I better get out in the woods and get me some.
NICE gonna try that for sure it'd be nice with boneless chicken thighs as well I recon
I'll be honest I was skeptical at first but that's a damn good looking meal.
OMG, I need to find some of those Dutch ovens! Recipe looks amazing great job! Definitely wanna give it a try.
Man I did everything this video said! Even let it sit in the fridge for a week. Everything looked good but I did not know squirrel had silver skin. Looked yummy but was tough like rubber.
Awesome informational educational video experience Y'alls
looks absurdly good . love the ' make it up as you go ' style . also i wouldnt have thought of aging the squirrels in the fridge for a few days . im fixin to start trapping some of these troublesome cvnts and i will duplicate your gravy recipe .
16:19 Tell with the pretty food, I'll have some of that fried squirrel. I was wanting to crawl through my screen.
Nice!!
We grew up hunting couldn't wait for the very first Frost so we could go get some squirrel and rabbit weed-eat the squirrels smothered in gravy with the leftover biscuit from breakfast for lunch and my mom would cook the rabbit at night for dinner. Nowadays we have a pet rabbit my kids don't believe you can eat squirrel
Looks absolutely delicious..... Great job brother.. Im sure rabbit would be great too !!

It is what it is. That’s a pretty safe assertion.
We made our squirrel gravy a little different we boiled the squirrel before we fried it and added a very thin batter ( like a pancake batter) and boiled it till it was gravy, and we liked ours with quite a bit of black pepper, pot of squirrel gravy and a big pan of biscuits I was in heaven
Chicken of the Trees. yum!
Just the way my great grand pappy used make .
I just flashed back to the late '60s.
