Rabbit (farm raised) is nothing special. Cook it anyway that you do chicken and it will be good.

My boot would have tasted better I think.

I rely on Jackelope for that. It was brown, in southwest Washington and tough as nails. Maybe we overcooked it. That's what most have said the problem must have been. I didn't think we did but I KNOW I will never shoot and eat a rabbit again.
It might be arrogant, but I think the people talking down about wild rabbit just haven't had any cooked well. I'm a big fan of Hank Shaw and would recommend that you try a recipe from his website before making up your mind. Rabbits are my absolute favorite game meat and I go through tons of them.Your best best is braised or stewed. Wild rabbits can be tough, so cook them slowly until the meat is tender. This is my girlfriend's favorite stew recipe. We'll leave the meat on the bone for ourselves, or pull it for guests. http://honest-food.net/2012/09/10/german-rabbit-stew/If you get a really young rabbit (under three months or so), try frying it or using it for any chicken recipe.http://honest-food.net/2014/10/15/fried-rabbit-recipe/Or you can stay home reading hunting websites and leave the rabbits for me.

That is my problem with wild rabbit. I don't want to eat pulled rabbit. Or rabbit stew where I can't taste rabbit. I bet I can make a killer stew out of dog meat too.
