Lightly sear meat, add golden mushroom soup, sliced potatoes, mushrooms, seasonings, and enough liquid to make it look right (I like using an electric frying pan) then simmer until potatoes are soft and meat is cooked. Easy and delicious.

Chicken Fried Grouse w/Homestyle Bacon Bourbon Gravy
Published by: Ultimate Upland Lodge on 11th Oct 2011 | View all blogs by Ultimate Upland Lodge
Warning: this recipe is rich and way too good. Given the ingredients, be prepared to walk it off with long hunts the following day. If you like mom's home cooking, this is the recipe for you.
4 grouse breasts
4 slices thick bacon chopped
1/2 large yellow onion diced
2 cup flour plus 3 T for gravy
1 small can (10.5 oz) beef broth (low sodium if available)
1/2 pint heavy cream
2 T butter for gravy plus 4 T butter/2 T oil for pan frying grouse
2 t pepper for gravy
Salt and pepper
Using kitchen mallet (or anything else heavy with a flat side), flatten grouse breasts between 2 pieces of plastic wrap to a little less than 1/4 in thick. Salt and pepper breasts. Let sit while you start the gravy.
Cook chopped bacon and onions in saucepan over medium heat until bacon is cooked through and onions are translucent. Add 2 T butter and 3 T flour to start a roux. Once mixture is thick, gradually add 1/2 can of beef broth. Add 2 T of good bourbon. Mixture should be thick. Gradually add cream. If mixture is not desired thickness, mix 1-2 T additional flour with water (to a paste) and add to gravy mixture. Add 2 t pepper. Set gravy aside to stay warm.
Pour the second 1/2 can of beef broth in shallow bowl. Put 2 cups flour on large plate. Coat pounded grouse in flour, dip in beef broth and re-coat with flour. In a non- stick pan, add butter and oil, heat to med-high making sure the oil is good and hot before and adding 2-3 breasts depending on size of pan. Cook for 2-3 mins each side until crisp on the outside, no need to overcook on the inside, will be done when still pink.
Ladle gravy over grouse and serve with French style green beans and apple sauce. A good red wine goes well with this dish.

Thats one thing I haven't tried is frying them, those are good suggestions I may have to start killing them again :chuckle:
:o You should retract your first comment until you have them fried...I don't know anybody personally, that will passs up a grouse fry -- women included! :chuckle: Have you been baking them? If so, I'd imagine I'd quit hunting the things as well, lol!

I cook this in the mountains at camp, plus at home. Very good meal.

I've never had a bad batch of grouse tastes like lean chicken to me :)

fry some bacon, set aside bacon and cut grouse breast into chunks, fry grouse in bacon grease. boil some fettucini noodles, put grouse and crumbled bacon into pan with alfredo sauce, heat until nice and hot, drain noodles when done, add sauce to noodles and enjoy
That sounds really good. :EAT:

Grouse was their first teaching moment on how to gut, clean, and prepare wild game from field to fire.

They're so good with a dusting of flour and Johnny's then fried in butter/oil, that I basically refuse to have them any other way. The recipe Bobcat posted will definately be tried though.
:yeah:
Grouse has awesome flavor and I won't cook them in a way where the flavor is changed.

I would try it. Sounds fine!
Sounds ok to me too, except for the barbecue potato chips. I never have liked them.

I have tried it this way-minus the chips. Also added sour cream, put it on a bed of rice.
