Favorite way of cooking grouse while at camp?

[de0827]

For those of you that choose to arrow a grouse while in the woods, what is your favorite way of cooking it up when you are back at camp?  They are one of the best tasting game birds in my opinion!

Many years ago, I elk hunted for weeks at a time on the OR coast and shot lots of quail and grouse (shotgun).  I just tossed them on the grill with basic seasonings, hard to beat that.

Sear the breast filets in a pan, moderately salt and peppered, then pour in a large can of cream of mushroom soup and let it slow cook for 1/2 hour.  Second skillet has chunked tatos and onions. Serve the grouse filets with a bit of the soup/gravy on top and a mound of fried tatos. Good eats.

Pan fried in butter and lemon pepper with chanterelles.

I've always seared the breasts, sliced them up and just added to mac n cheese. That is if anything is left after snacking as the mac n cheese cooks.

When i was younger and backpacked, grouse breast on a stick with whatever seasoning packets i had, was the best at the time.
If in camp now, it can be a multitude of ways, grouse tacos, grouse with gravy, grouse stirfry with veggies, or very easy, sauteed grouse in a cup of noodles, or sauteed grouse mixed with dintemoore chicken and dumplings....
Grouse pot pie is my fav, but that is cooked at home on a cold sunday with football on the TV...

chunk it, season to taste and fry in olive oil. Toss it on some egg noodles ans smother in brown gravy.  Oh so good!

If backpacking, I season it, put it in tinfoil with an olive oil packet and cook over coals.

Flour, fry in oil.  Cool for a little bit then either dip or toss in your favorite BBQ sauce/hot sauce.

I usually fry it with lemon pepper and eat, sometimes mix it into whatever we are cooking. On the mountain, I usually have a small thing of olive oil in my pack, dice it up.and fry it in my pot and mix it with chicken ramen noodles or in a mountain house.

Fillet them off the bone wrap in bacon with a skewer run them across a BBQ/hot coals

Season them (i like lemon pepper), poke them on a stick and then point them towards the fire. Don't forget to turn them once in awhile. It's like desert when they get done, while you are sitting around the fire picking them apart.

On a stick with a little Johnny's.

Toss em in your can cooker with chicken/ vegetable broth, carrots, onions, celery, potatoes. Season with salt and pepper.
Simmer till tender toss in a bag of egg noodels and cook them until done about 15 minutes.
Serve up in a bowl and eat up.
One pot wonder.

Chanterelles and grouse. Both fresh. It just don't get no better.

Dice couple apples and dutchoven over apples with bacon on top.  Rice mix with chopped celery a good addition too.

My cousin from Texas taught me this recipe (we called it "chit-bird surprise"), and make sure you have a roll of TP in your pack the next day!
Filet the bird's breast. Season it wi salt and pepper to taste (or some Tony's). Fill a large jalapeño with cream cheese and wrap the filet around it. Wrap bacon around that and skewer it with a couple toothpicks. Then hold over the fire or place on a grill and cook till the cheese starts to come out.
I'm drooling just writing about it!

Be careful of which grouse you speak, ruffed vs sharpies is apples and oranges in taste

This may not be convenient for camp, but wrap a 1 inch'ish size chunk of grouse in about a half length of thin bacon. place in a baking dish ( or aluminum foil) and drizzle with butter and brown sugar. I do this at home in a 9 by 9 glass baking dish... yummy!
