Yup, rabbit tastes like chicken
Saturday, November 17th, 2007It’s true. Rabbit does taste like chicken, and has a heartier base to it.
It’s been said rabbit can be used in any chicken recipe, and I believe it! Just be sure to #1 cook it at a lower temperature (or in a crockpot), and give it a layer of fat on top (bacon) so it doesn’t dry out (or use a crockpot). Rabbit is very lean, so it’ll dry out pretty easily.
Looks like my husband and I may be going ahead with our plans for breeding meat rabbits next year. It’s important to me to provide wholesome, healthy meals for my family and while chicken is a healthy meat, you can never be sure how the chicken was raised and how it was preserved unless you do it yourself. I’m a ‘do it yourself’ kind of girl and while I can’t raise chickens or beef where I live, we can do rabbit.
If you’re interested in trying rabbit, the Erie IGA on South Dixie Hwy in Erie is now carrying it.
