Tips:
- For the perfect Southern-style fried rabbit, start by selecting a young rabbit, no more than 2 pounds in weight, for the most tender meat.
- When cutting the rabbit into serving pieces, be sure to remove any excess fat or sinew.
- Soaking the rabbit pieces in buttermilk or seasoned milk for several hours or overnight helps tenderize the meat and adds flavor.
- Use a seasoned flour mixture to coat the rabbit pieces before frying. This helps create a crispy, golden-brown crust.
- Fry the rabbit pieces in hot oil until they are evenly browned on all sides and cooked through. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan, as this will lower the oil temperature and result in soggy rabbit.
- For the gravy, use the pan drippings from frying the rabbit. Add some flour or cornstarch to thicken the gravy, and season to taste with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices.
Conclusion:
Southern-style fried rabbit and gravy is a classic comfort food dish that is sure to please everyone at your table. The tender rabbit meat, crispy crust, and flavorful gravy make this dish a winner. Serve it with traditional Southern sides like mashed potatoes, green beans, and cornbread for a complete meal.
