I've cooked a lot of squirrel. Don't hunt them like I used to, getting soft in my dotage, but I still get donations from the members of my family who still hunt.
Squirrel and rice - cooked just like you'd do chicken and rice, or cutting them in quarters and frying them is how we mostly did it back in the last century.
Now, I usually put the critters into the crock pot with some chopped onion and celery, cook them down all day, take the meat off the bone and use the remaining broth as a soup starter. Add chopped carrrots, potatoes, some baby green limas or field peas, maybe some corn and chicken broth, thyme, and plenty of black pepper to round it out. Makes a super fall/winter soup with some cornbread on the side,
My dad will use them in his Brunswick stew along with about a hundred other ingredients - it's the best I've ever had, but I don't really think the squirrels add that much to the finished product.
