1. **Choose the Right Cut of Rabbit:** Select a young, tender rabbit weighing between 2 to 3 pounds for optimal results. 2. **Season the Rabbit Generously:** Thoroughly rub the rabbit pieces with a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika to enhance its flavor. 3. **Use a Large Skillet:** Employ a large skillet that can accommodate all the rabbit pieces comfortably without overcrowding to ensure even cooking. 4. **Fry the Rabbit in Batches if Necessary:** If using a smaller skillet, cook the rabbit in batches to prevent overcrowding and promote even browning. 5. **Maintain Medium-High Heat:** Keep the heat at medium-high throughout the cooking process to achieve a crispy golden brown exterior while maintaining the rabbit's tenderness inside. 6. **Flip the Rabbit Pieces Regularly:** Continuously flip the rabbit pieces during frying to ensure uniform cooking and prevent burning. 7. **Make the Gravy:** Enhance the flavor of the dish by preparing a simple gravy using the pan drippings. Whisk flour into the drippings and gradually add chicken broth while stirring to create a smooth and flavorful sauce. 8. **Serve the Rabbit and Gravy Hot:** Serve the fried rabbit immediately while it's hot, accompanied by the warm, savory gravy.
