Rabbit, Onion Laces, and Potato Salad, Oh My!


This was the first time that I've ever cooked rabbit, and I must say, it turned out quite well!

First, I threw all the drums and legs into the frying pan. I'm not sure if this is a normal thing or not, but they "popped" horribly in the oil so you might want to cover them while frying. If you cover them, make sure you turn down the heat a bit. Fry them for about 8 minutes on each side.

While they're cooking mix up some homemade Jack Daniels BBQ sauce.

1/2-3/4 cup Jack Daniels (depending on how well you like the stuff)
1 cup ketchup
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup vinegar
2 tsp Worcshesteshire sauce
a quick squeeze of lemon (not the whole thing! Just halve it and squeeze +-Tbsp into the mix)
1/2 tsp dry mustard
2 cloves of garlic, minced (I actually use about 1/2 tsp Garlic, Garlic by Tastefully Simple)

Mix it all together, and there you have your homemade BBQ sauce! This tastes AMAZING on chicken and ribs also.

Next, remove the rabbit pieces from the pan and place in a casserole dish. Before you throw them in the oven, smother them with homemade Jack Daniels BBQ sauce. Bake at 375 degrees for about 20-30 minutes turning every 10 minutes or so.

Now on to onion laces!!!

Take an onion, peel it and slice it as thin as you can. Separate the pieces and soak in milk at least 15 minutes. While they're soaking mix up the breading, 1 cup of flour liberally dusted with chili powder. Once you've mixed the two ingredients together, take the onions out of the milk and toss them in the breading bowl, making sure they are well coated before frying them up! These seriously rival the ones you'd find at those expensive steak houses! Yummy!
