How to Cook a Squirrel in the Oven
There are several methods for cooking a squirrel. One of these is marinating it in an egg wash and then dredging it in flour. Another method is using a garlic-mustard marinade or modern jerk seasoning. Both of these methods are excellent, but you can also buy a pre-seasoned squirrel, which you can marinate yourself. Using a pre-seasoned squirrel can also make the cooking process a lot simpler.
Homemade squirrel food recipe
To cook homemade squirrel food, start by cleaning the squirrel. To remove any visible fur, rinse the meat with a couple of changes of water. Heat oil and butter in a heavy skillet or oven safe crock. Place the squirrel in batches and fry until browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside. Next, combine flour, egg, and bread crumbs. Stir well. Pour the mixture over the squirrel. Add salt and pepper to taste, and then cover the pot or oven safe crock. Bake for 90 minutes or until the meat is fork-tender.
Once the squirrel meat is thoroughly cooked, marinade the meat overnight. You can also add a splash of wine. For a more luxurious dish, blend sorghum molasses and cider together. Pour the sauce over the squirrel meat. Allow it to sit overnight. Stir well before serving. Cooking homemade squirrel food in the oven requires some time and patience. Nevertheless, the flavor of this dish will surely impress your family and friends.
Modern jerk seasoning
To make modern jerk seasoning for squirrel, simply combine all of the ingredients and mix them in a food processor. You’ll use a mixture of allspice, jerk seasoning and Scotch Bonnets to provide heat, and some honey. It’s important to make sure the mixture is blended well before adding it to the meat. It should coat the back of a spoon well. Once the squirrel is coated, place it in a large pan over medium-high heat, and then add the remaining ingredients, including the sauce. Once the squirrel is covered with the mixture, the roast will be cooked for two hours, and the meat will be moist and tender.
To make modern jerk seasoning for squirrel in the oven, first, prepare the meat. First, prepare a frying pan and preheat the grill. After the bacon is browned, add the onions, peppers, and garlic to the meat. Stir until the mixture is evenly mixed and the meat is coated. Once cooked, transfer the squirrel meat to a large bowl, cover with a lid, and place in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours.
Maple syrup, garlic and mustard marinade
For this recipe, you need to prepare a medium-size sealable mixing bowl. Combine Spanish extra-virgin olive oil, freshly minced garlic cloves, diced thyme and green parsley, dark sweet soy sauce, and prepared hot mustard. Blend well for about an hour. When you are ready to use the marinade, remove the meat from the pot and place it on a serving dish. If you want to make a sauce for squirrel instead, you can prepare it a day in advance.
Start by skinning and trimming the squirrel. Remove any excess fat and bones. Next, cut the green onion and red pepper into 1-inch pieces. Then, cut the pepper into 1/2-inch slices and set aside. Next, pour two tablespoons of olive oil into a skillet or oven-safe dish and heat it on medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the squirrel and brown it on all sides.
Using Fryin’ Magic(r)
If you are trying to make the most delicious and healthy squirrel dinner possible, try Using Fryin’ Magic(r). This special sauce is used in frying pans to create a crispy, golden-brown crust over the meat. Squirrel meat is mild and tender, and is comparable to turkey or chicken in flavor and texture. It is perfect for casseroling or deep-frying. However, if you want to enjoy its rich flavor, cook it in the oven!
To prepare your squirrel in the oven, you first need to clean it well. Cut it into half-inch pieces. Then, mix the flour with the Fryin’ Magic. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, and add oil or butter. Once the oil has reached a smoking point, place the squirrel in it. Once it has browned, transfer the squirrel to the baking pan. Pour the sauce over the meat and bake for at least 45 minutes, or until cooked through.
