Quarter them like you would a deer and fry the individual pieces with a corn meal breading.Comment

I grew up hunting rabbits.
A quick easy way my mom used was to quarter them, cut the ribs off, then cut the backstrap area in half (front and rear). Bread them, brown them in oil and then put them in the oven in a roasting pan.
Good eating.Comment

Soak in salt water for about a day. Then rub them down with olive oil, spinkle with salt and pepper and put on the grill.Comment

I fry the field rabbits and love the big uns in a rabbit and sausage gumbo. I get about a dozen rabbits a year and leave 6 fresh and smoke 6 of them. I add 2 lbs. fresh sausage, 2 lbs. smoked sausage, 1 fresh rabbit, and 1 smoked rabbit along with my green onion, yellow onion, and bell pepper and roux. Talk about a good gumbo. ca cest bon.Comment

My last batch was a little different.
Soaked them in brine overnight. Boiled them for about 4 hours and the meat just fell off the bone.
Then instead of chicken and sausage gumbo I made rabbit and venison sausage gumbo much like RaginCajin. Nice twist to them.
Since they were deboned, the meat would also make some good tacos/soft tacos at that point like a chicken taco 'cept rabbit.
Saw a recipe for rabbit and oyster gumbo that may be next.

Rabbit and oyster gumbo is awesome just remember to put your oysters in about 20 minutes before you are ready to eat. Oh and another good twist is to add about 1 lb. of fresh diced okra to it. Very very good.Originally posted by John K View PostComment

Try a rabbit Sauce Piquant. Google "sauce piquant recipes", pick the recipe you like, and use rabbit instead of whatever meat is called for in that recipe. Very good!Comment
