Crock pot low and slow. I add either barbecue sauce or a can of cream of mushroom soup. Put it in in the morning cook all day on low and you are good to go for dinner. Mom used to give them a quick fry in flour on real high heat then finish in the oven on a low temp for a about 2 hours.

I boil um until a fork goes in them easy.Cut them in sections, back legs,front legs,and back strap.I don't eat the ribs.Then mix up 2 eggs and ketchup.Then pour some flower in a gallon bag with salt,garlic,and some sort of pepper.I use a creole seasoning.Then dip the squirrel pieces in the egg mix then put um in the flour bag and shake them up.Take the squirrel out of the bag and put them in some hot oil and fry like chicken.

Grandpas recipe is one that I use, brine overnight, fry in cast iron make gravy from drippings', or braze slow add BBQ sauce. Main thing is when you hunt um, select the young ones... as the ones with nuts the size of walnuts are particularly rough. I normally wont bother with the brine on a young one male or female.
