Fall is here and small game hunting season is right around the corner here in upper Michigan, so I thought this would be a great time to put this Fried Rabbit with Gravy Recipe on the menu. I used a domestic rabbit for this recipe, but you can also use wild.
If you are using wild rabbit, or an older, tougher rabbit, it is a good idea to parboil it in salt water for about 20 minutes before using it in this recipe.
This is a simple recipe that doesn’t require a lot of prep time. The rabbit is really good, and the gravy is delicious. If you have rabbit meat available give this Fried Rabbit with Gravy Recipe a try; it’s delicious. Enjoy

Instructions
- Place 1/4 cup flour in a gallon plastic bag; salt and pepper to taste. Shake rabbit pieces in the flour to coat.
- In a large skillet or chicken cooker, using cooking oil, brown the rabbit pieces at medium-high heat on both sides. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet cook the onion until it starts to brown; drain any excess oil if needed.
- Mix in the beef broth scraping the bottom of the pan to incorporate any bits and pieces of meat into the mixture.
- Add the rabbit back into the skillet, and simmer covered until done. (165F. or to the desired doneness)
- While rabbit is cooking mix 1 tablespoon of flour with 3 tablespoons of cold water.
- When the rabbit is done, remove the rabbit to a serving platter; mix the flour-water mixture into the juices in the skillet to form the gravy.
- Serve the rabbit with gravy spooned over the top.
