I slit the hide all the way around in the middle and pull apart and over the arms/legs. I cut the arms/legs off and head/tail and then chunk the main portions apart.

I wash well, roll them in a bit of flour and then pan fry them or otherwise I just pull the meat off after a good boil and add them to soups, stew, whatever.

Or if you prefer, the crockpot is a great way to get some tender squirrel, lots of liquid and let them go for half a day or whatever.
