kidso Report post Posted June 21, 2014 First, I slice or cut pieces of bear meat the size of chicken nuggets. Next, I rinse them off in cold water. Then, I dab them in flour to cover them with a base coat. After that, I immerse them in a mixture of eggs, water, onion salt, garlic powder, and paprika. Finally, I roll the nuggets around in a bread crumb mix.I bake the bear nuggets in the oven for one hour at 350 degrees, then deep fry them in 375 degree vegetable oil for one minute. Let them cool for a few minutes, then enjoy! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kidso Report post Posted June 21, 2014 The last photo shows the finished nuggets. I always bake in the oven as described just prior to the quick deep fry, as this generates an internal meat temperature of 160 degrees which is more than enough to kill any trichinosis that could be present. A fast deep fry alone will not achieve that internal temperature. Cooking some more today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chef Report post Posted June 21, 2014 Looks great! For some reason the finished nuggets pic wasn't showing for me this morning. I love it when people share their recipes and techniques for cooking wild game. Especially the more exotic stuff like this. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Edge Report post Posted June 23, 2014 For a slightly zestier dish, harvest the nuggets while the bear is hibernating. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hyperwrx Report post Posted June 23, 2014 I had a butcher make summer sausage out of mine. They had to of mixed in a good amount of pork meat and it was palatable, but I can't say it was something I would seek out to eat when hungry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
