I like to chicken fry antelope. For me, the key to eating antelope is not the way you cook it but how you handle the meat in the field (prolly a universal truth for game, but antelope can go from delicious to inedible pretty easily if you mishandle it in the field). I try to have it gutted and quartered and on ice within an hour of pulling the trigger. A friend once insisted that I was being too cautious with that schedule and he threw the field dressed buck into the bed and then drove around a few hours trying to fill his tag. That was one of the worst tasting antelopes ever, and I blame it on how it was handled after the shot.
