👨🍳 Steps
1Pat the rabbit pieces very dry with paper towels – this is the secret to crispy skin.

4Let the seasoned pieces rest at room temperature for 15-20 minutes.
5Preheat the air fryer to 193°C (380°F) for 3 minutes.
6Arrange the pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket, without overcrowding (cook in batches if necessary).
7Cook for 10 minutes, then turn each piece with tongs.
8Continue cooking for another 8-12 minutes (total 18-22 minutes) until the internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F).
9Remove from the air fryer and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
