- Texture & flavor: Tender, mild-flavored meat, slightly richer than chicken.
- Serving tip: Often served hot with sides like mashed potatoes, greens, or biscuits.
White Gravy
- Base: Made from pan drippings or fat, flour, and milk or cream.
- Seasoning: Salt, pepper, and sometimes a touch of garlic or onion powder.
- Purpose: Adds creamy richness and moisture to the fried rabbit.
How it’s Enjoyed
