If you enjoy the taste of wild game as I do, and don't want to alter the taste of the meat too much except to put a nice coating on it here it is. Just the basics for the home or the camp.

Steps:

  • Remove legs from body of dressed rabbit or squirrel.

  • Dip meat pieces in melted butter.
  • Roll pieces into crushed corn flakes coating all around.
  • Brown meat in hot oil on each side.

  • Note: Some people like to soak the meat in salted water a few hours before cooking.
  • If so cover the body with water in a pot and add 3 Tablespoons of salt.
  • Then drain, rinse, and pat the body dry before cooking.
  • I often do this especially if the animal appears to be old.
