Barbecued Muskrat
This recipe comes from Maryland.
These assertive spices should work on any meat where you don't really want to taste the meat. Chicken would absolutely vanish into that.
If you want to taste the actual meat, for game species I recommend traditional Turtle Island spices such as juniper, sage, and whatever alliums grow wild in your area. If you're dealing with an aquatic species such as muskrat or diving duck, and you're concerned about the 'fishy' taste, then a good trick is to combine it with actual fish in a chowder or similar recipe.
