Is it wild or farm raised? Either way, your husband is right, you can cook it the way you do chicken. Most chicken recipes work for rabbit. If it is farm-raised, just roast it like you would a chicken of the same weight. Assuming it is only about 1 to 1 1⁄2 lbs that means about 40-50 minutes as Maggot said. A little salt, pepper and minced garlic. Roast on top of a "rack" made from some celery and/or carrots, so the bottom does not dry out.
Wild rabbit is better suited for stew, braising or cooking in a slow cooker/Crock Pot. For a crock pot stew, just cut into pieces and throw it in with some onions, garlic, potatoes, carrots, celery, (plus other root veggies like parsnips) and a little chicken broth (1/2 cup?) and cook on high for 1 1⁄2 or 2 hours or on low for 4 or 5 hours.
