I made a bet with my sister that if she killed a squirrel, I would cook it. Turns out, she's a better shot than I thought.
Does anyone have a recipe? |

| I don't. But I think there's an interim step euphemistically called cleaning. |

| Why would you just kill something for no reason? If you were a deer hunter and needed food, I could understand it. But you don't even know how to prepare the squirrel, and I doubt you will actually eat it, since it is a rodent. Poor squirrel lost his life for no reason. |

| Lightly fry it in antioxidant spices, put it between two pieces of bread. To get the full flavor, it's important that you carry it around in a lunch bag for 4-5 hours before enjoying your meal. |

Gross!!! You need to look up wild game recipes. People only eat squirrels if they absolutely have to because there isn't much meat on them as I understand it.
But yuck!! |

Find an old copy of Joy of Cooking. It has instructions for skinning as well as (I think) a recipe. Did the bet say who had to eat it

I had a copy with this! I seem to remember one step was stepping on the tail with a sturdy boot while skinning it. |

| I would stew it with bacon, onions, potatoes and mushrooms. Throw in some rosemary and thyme. I haven't cooked squirrel, but it works with other game meat. |

| Whatever you do, don't eat the brains. They carry a virus like mad cow disease and can kill you. |

OP here. My husband cleaned it for us.
There's more bone than meat so we're braising it. We'll let you know how it tastes in a few hours. |
