1 pound frog legs
2 cups milk
2 cups yellow cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Place frog legs in a bowl and pour milk over the top. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound frog legs (fresh or frozen)
2 cups buttermilk (or milk)
1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning ((for milk mixture))
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder ((for milk mixture))
2 cups yellow cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons Old Bay Seasoning

Steps:

  • Place the frog legs into a large bowl, add the milk or the buttermilk to the bowl. Then add the Old Bay Seasoning and Garlic Powder. Cover and place into the refrigerator for about an hour.
  • In another bowl, mix the cornmeal, flour, and another 1 teaspoon of Old Bay Seasoning. Mix well.
  • As you remove the frog legs from the milk/buttermilk marinate, let the milk drip off, and then place the frog legs into the cornmeal batter, repeat with the milk marinade and again in the cornmeal mixture.
