Superbowl Appetizer - Rabbit Nuggets

I wanted to make something that my wife and kid have never tasted, so during one hunting trip this winter, I saved the backstraps off of the 3 rabbits I got and put them in their own bag.  I had planned on making rabbit nuggets for the Superbowl for weeks.  I cut the strips into 1 inch nuggets, breaded them in pancake batter with pepper, rosemary and salt, then deep fried them in vegetable oil for approximately 5 minutes.  3 rabbits gave us 28 nuggets and both my son & wife thought they were amazing.  Needless to say, Debbie is totally on board with raising meat rabbits after two delicious rabbit meals.

Ingredients:
Rabbit backstraps
2 cups pancake batter
1 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp rosemary

1) Cut backstraps into 1 inch nuggets
2) Mix pancake batter
3) Add pepper, salt, and rosemary
4) Coat rabbit with pancake mixture
5) Fry in oil for 5 minutes or until dark golden brown
