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.

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...

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

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.

Post by: gaddy on September 09, 2015, 08:03:11 PM: 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.

Post by: jgilley on October 01, 2015, 05:56:30 PM: 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!

Post by: Southpole on October 02, 2015, 08:17:43 PM: 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!
