Natural State Rabbit
Hind Quarters
There’s plenty of meat on a rabbit hind quarter, which makes this cut a natural centerpiece. It welcomes slow cooking especially well, becoming tender and deeply flavorful in a braise.
Picture it simmered with white wine and mustard on a cold evening, or roasted until golden beside a heap of seasonal vegetables. When the grill is lit, a good marinade and gentle heat can take it in an entirely different direction.
The quarters arrive frozen, preserving their quality and giving you time to decide what kind of meal they’ll become.
Bring them home for the next dinner worth lingering over.

How to Prep Your Rabbit
Follow these simple tips to ensure the best results.
Fresh:
Remove from packaging. Use paper towels to pat dry meat to help sear properly during cooking. Let meat sit at room temperature for 30-45 minutes before cooking for best results.
Frozen:
Place meat in the refrigerator and allow it to thaw for 12 to 24 hours. Once thawed, pat dry and allow it to come to room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking for best results.
Marinating:
To enhance moisture retention, tenderize the meat, and boost flavor, place meat and a marinade of your choosing in a sealed bag or covered container. Refrigerate for 2-12 hours. Remove from marinade and pat dry, allowing meat to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking.
Brining:
To retain moisture, enhance tenderness, and season meat from the inside out, dissolve 1/4 cup kosher salt in 4 cups cold water. Add herbs or spices if desired. Fully submerge rabbit in the brine. Cover and refrigerate for 4-12 hours. Rinse the meat under cold water to remove excess salt and pat dry thoroughly with paper towels. Let meat sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking for even results.
