How do you guys prefer to cook your rabbits?

A women I used to work with, would bone out the rabbit (6-8) Run the meat thru a grinder, form into small patties, dip into egg then cracker crumb (twice) and drop into a deep fryer. They were really good.

Another great one is to season and boil off per Johns post, then let cool, pick the meat, and prepare cold just like chicken salad. Its crazy how good it is ! ( We do a Pa Dutch mustard base rabbit salad, you can find it in the Grange cookbooks, just use rabbit instead of chicken )

Parboil and pick off the bone. Saute meat in butter, onions, mushrooms, salt, papper, worchestershire, garlic powder. Once hot thicken juice with a little ranch dressing. Awesome alone or over mashed taters.

You can use unused marinade for dipping sauce
Lady I know was Portuguese raised her own meat rabbits & wild cousins
She used all marinade including used marinade but brought it to boil ...

Incredible & healthy to boot,

My son and I love this recipe: Coat some cut-up rabbit in flour. I mix some Montreal Chicken and Old Bay Seasoning in the flour. Brown the rabbit in a frying pan with some olive oil. Don't need to cook it just brown it and transfer the browned rabbit to a baking dish. After browning the rabbit add some butter to the frying pan and brown 3-4 cut up onions. Cover the rabbit pieces with the onions. Deglaze the pan with a 1/2 cup of wine or apple cider and pour that and 2 cans of chicken gravy over the rabbit & onions. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake at 325 for ~ 4 hours. Serve over rice or noodles.
