I've killed and eaten several thousand cottontail rabbits in my life. They are good fried, scalloped or in a casserole. They don't taste like chicken, they're better. Wild cottontails taste alot different than pen raised domestic. The wild ones are much more flavorful and better than pen raised by far. I'd need to be pretty desperate and hungry to eat another pen raised rabbit.
I chicken fry them but they are usually tough, even if i cook the hind qs in a pot of pinto beans. I have some cooking now with onion, celery and deer heart.
