Did you batter or dredge the squirrel? Looks awesome. I love to see kids hunting small game.
Generally after they cook in a pot with salt, seasoned salt, pepper, cloves of garlic and bacon fat I let them cool a bit, dip them in egg and coat with a mixture of flour, Italian bread crumbs, pepper, salt, paprika and then brown in oil ( I use a mixture of butter, bacon fat and olive oil) until crispy. This is the method I like the best now. It also works to coat and brown them first and then bake but they aren't crispy then.
