How to Make Rabbit Wings
"Wings" crafted from the helicopter bones of a rabbit where the leg meets the spine.
Equipment
- 1 mixing bowl
- 1 large skillet
Ingredients
- Prepared helicopter bones of rabbit or other suitable small game about 3 per person as an appetizer
- Sea salt to taste
- Fresh ground black pepper to taste
- Buttermilk as needed
- Dry rub, such as blackening spice
- Rendered animal fat for sauteing (Cooking oil can be substituted)
Instructions
- Soak the rabbit pieces in buttermilk overnight.
- The next day, thoroughly dry the pieces, season with salt and pepper, then dredge in the spice mixture, toss lightly to remove excess, then fry in the lard, ensuring there is ½in-1 in of space between each piece of meat in the pan, to ensure proper caramelization of the spices and meat. Cook the meat until browned thoroughly on medium-high heat, turning occasionally to flip each piece only once throughout the cooking process.
- When the rabbit pieces are cooked through, transfer them to towel to soak up excess lard for a second, then transfer to a plate and serve immediately.
