Do you par boil them before you fry?
If I had mess of squirrels too big for one meal, I think I would par boil and fry the hind legs and saddles and make squirrels and dumplings or Brunswick stew out of the front ends.
It depends on how much time I have. If I have time, boiling them until tender before frying is the way to go, but if I'm in a hurry I just fry them fresh.
I was raised poor, so eatting a tough critter, whether squirrel, rabbit, coon or whatever is just part of life here.
I never have more than enough for a meal. I only kill what I need. Usually about 4 -5 squirrels or two rabbits is about right for a mess for my family.
