First we need to de bone the rabbit.

It takes a bit of preparation to de bone the rabbit but once that is done the rest of the dish is easy to make and well worth it.

You can leave the bones in the legs and just de bone the rest of the rabbit to speed it up. The bones in the legs are similar to chicken drumstick bones and easy to maneuver.
