Cooking Instructions
Save the front legs from your squirrels for this appetizer recipe.
In a small saucepan, heat the sauce ingredients to a light simmer. Stir well. Maintain a simmer while you fry the squirrel legs.
Toss the legs in seasoned flour and allow to rest for a few minutes before frying.
Toss the squirrel legs in the seasoned flour and set aside for 10 minutes to allow the crust to set on the meat. Heat vegetable or peanut oil in the Magic Chef deep fryer to 350 degrees. Fry the legs in batches, about 7-10 minutes per batch. Drain the oil from the squirrel and toss with sauce.
Drop the legs into the Magic Chef deep fryer a batch at a time.
