Pat the chicken and rabbit pieces dry and season all over with the salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a 15- to 16-inch paella pan over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken and rabbit in a single layer and sear, turning once, for 8–10 minutes total, until deep golden brown on both sides. Transfer to a plate and set aside — do not discard the oil in the pan.
