Recipe notes
Perfect for your next grilling get-together or tailgate, these bacon-wrapped rabbit bites are super flavorful and easy to make. Barding with bacon is a classic method of imparting fat to lean meat and creates a delightful finger food in this recipe.
RECIPE Preparation
- Prepare a charcoal grill for indirect cooking or set a gas grill to medium-high.
- Pat rabbit loins dry and trim away the thin belly portions, saving for stock or another use. Cut loins into 1-inch pieces. Season on all sides with BBQ rub.
- In a medium bowl, stir together Dijon, bourbon, and maple syrup. Add seasoned rabbit and turn to coat on all sides with the mustard mixture. Working with one piece at a time, wrap rabbit in a section of bacon and secure with a prepared toothpick.
- Grill, turning often, until bacon is crisp and rendered, and rabbit registers 150 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Remove to a platter and rest for 5 minutes before serving with mustard or your favorite BBQ sauce.
