    Cut into quarters... cover them in chicken broth and pressure cook them for 30 minutes.

    Take out and dredge in your favorite breading. I use regular ole flour. Salt and pepper and fry like chicken in cast iron skillet.

    Make gravy with some dripping from skillet and serve with taters, greens and biscuits!

    Slap your granny for the last bite good!

    ... But air fryer not so much, if you're making gravy.

    Bet you could cut that pressure time to about 10 minutes.

    Probably could but I like it tender! It really depends on how many you put in.

    Just clean them, roll in flour and fry them. Makes great gravy! Wife never did anything else before frying them. Or maybe Kentucky squirrels were tender.
