Instructions
For the Rabbit
Marinate rabbit in a plastic bag with first nine ingredients. Store in the refrigerator for at least one hour. When ready to fry, drain the rabbit. Dip rabbit in egg and then in seasoned flour. Fry in a shallow frying pan with coconut or peanut oil 1/3 of the way up your pan. It should take about seven to ten minutes for the rabbit to get nicely browned. Allow it to then cook in the oven for another 15 to 20 minutes while you make your waffles and sweet and spicy maple syrup.
For the Waffles
Mix wet ingredients in a large bowl. In another bowl combine dry ingredients and add them to the wet; stir until just combined. Heat your waffle iron. The amount of batter used will depend on the size of your waffle iron. Be careful not to spill over. The batter will bubble up fairly quickly.
Sweet and Spicy Maple Syrup
In a blender combine maple syrup, butter and Chipotle peppers.
