Hey, Dominic!
I also like rabbit other than in stew. I posted one of my favorite ways to rotisserie cook a rabbit in the wild game section. I'll try to dig it up and repost in this thread.
Most of the rabbit I get here are Snowshoe Hares from the wild. They are about the size of a New Zealand White, which I have raised in the past and will do so again, and are a bit stronger flavored than domestic rabbit.
Italian Salad Dressing is also an excellent choice for a marinade.
Just found my other post and have copied the details here:
I take two rabbits and marinate overnight in olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, cilantro, oregano, ginger, a few cracked peppercorns and a few dashes of Kosher salt. (Season to your taste)
Prepare a sage dressing from scratch or use Bells Poultry Dressing Seasoning to make the dressing and dice one apple into it and then stuff the two rabbits and truss the carcasses "nose to tail". (No further comment from the peaniut gallery, please!) Cover the ends of limbs up to two inches with foil.
Then, using toothpicks, pin on slices of bacon, going completely around the two rabbits and spaced about an inch apart. Mount on a rotisserie skewer and place on rotisserie mount on gas grill. (Grills removed) Only have one half of grill going. Adjust rabbits so they are over the unlit side. Use a "smoke box" to introduce smoke to the grill. (Since rabbit is rather bland I like Mesquite, but go for your own preference) At about 225F the rabbits take about three to four hours to reach an internal temp of 165. If preparing wild rabbits go to 180. I mop alternately with fresh italian dressing and maple syrup cut with rum and sprayed from a spray bottle.
When the desired temp is reached wrap in HD foil and a few towels and allow to rest in a warmed cooler for about a half hour. Then enjoy!
Rabbit is one of my favorites and I always find a bit of time to harvest a few off my property.
Cheers!
