Best way to cook a rabbit?

[MCgunner]

Young cottontail, fried. Big swamp rabbits, either smothered or in stew. Young cottontail are tender and fry well.

Can't tell ya about Jacks. Never tried to eat one. We don't have any Jacks here, but west Texas and New Mexico are ate up with 'em.

Nobody's had rabbit pie? My grandma used to make it for me all the time. Don't know the exact formula but it was rabbit meat with some kind of gravy put in a baking pan with biscuits baked on top of it. Phenomal. I need to call my grandma.

And if u are in the camp or survival mode, skinned and cleaned the guts out. Cut in half lengthwise along spine. Then stick a long stick for BBQ. Rub salt and pepper and grill to perfection over hot amber or coal. With cold beer , u have a wonderful experience underneath that starry night exchanging stories of hunting and life.

I take all the meat off the bones, cut it up, and soak in salt water for a couple of days in the fridge. Then its time for rabbit stirfry!

I saved that for the old red squirrels. Boil them down and thicken the stock.

I see if I ever get a chance to visit my old friend in Perry, Ks I need to stop on the way with a bit of fried rabbit and Jack.

Shake and bake works great, either in the oven or deep fried.
