I know many of you already do this. However, it wasn't something that I thought about right away when processing my rabbits so I thought I would share.
I've discovered I really like dividing up all my rabbits instead of freezing or using a whole rabbit for a meal. I put the hind legs in one bag, the front legs in another, and the loins in a third. The belly flaps and the rest of the carcass goes into a stew pot. It's a bit of a pain to debone but the broth is wonderful. I usually do a big pot of Rabbit Noodle Soup and/or Rabbit and Dumplings.
This gives me alot of flexibility when cooking. I can bake, fry, or grill the hind legs, hubby loves chicken wings so I use the front legs for rabbit "wings", and the loins I use in the place of boneless chicken breast.
