recipe<\/a> you must try. After you\u2019ve skinned and cleaned the squirrels, cut them into quarters, which you\u2019ll place in tupperware or a Ziploc bag. Cover the meat with Louisiana hot sauce and let marinate for 6-12 hours, depending on how much flavor you prefer. Then, transfer the quarters into a bowl of buttermilk and let soak for another hour. Remove the meat, pat it with a paper towel to remove some of the buttermilk, which keeps the flour mixture from sticking together.<\/p><\/p>

We like a dry batter so we\u2019ll mix up two parts flour to every one part cornmeal and salt and pepper to taste. Fry the squirrels in hot oil (about 350 degrees) for three minutes on each side or until golden brown. If you really want to impress someone, use the leftover grease in the skillet to make a sawmill gravy by simply blending in flour then slowly adding milk. Salt and pepper to taste. Serve with biscuits and it\u2019s a childhood memory relived that\u2019ll make you yearn to get back out in the squirrel woods.<\/p>
