If you love seafood, you'll love these frog legs...

Provided by Jay Rice

Categories     Wild Game

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 egg - beaten
1/2 tsp salt
2 lb frog legs
1/2 c corn meal
1/8 tsp black pepper
1/2 c cooking oil

Steps:

  • 1. Mix the egg, corn meal, salt, and pepper together to form a batter. Dip the frog legs into the batter then fry in the oil in a large heavy skillet for 25 minutes, turning so they brown evenly on all sides.

Tips:

  • To ensure the cleanliness of frog legs, purchase them from reliable sources or catch them yourself in clean waters.
  • Before cooking, soak the frog legs in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove any impurities or remaining blood.
  • To achieve a crispy texture, double-coat the frog legs in the batter, ensuring they are fully covered.
  • Use a deep fryer or a large pot filled with oil for frying. Maintain the oil temperature between 350°F (175°C) and 375°F (190°C) to prevent the frog legs from absorbing too much oil.
  • Fry the frog legs in small batches to avoid overcrowding and ensure even cooking.
  • Cook the frog legs until they turn golden brown and crispy, usually for 3-4 minutes. Overcooking can result in tough and chewy texture.
  • Serve the fried frog legs immediately with your preferred dipping sauce, such as tartar sauce, ranch dressing, or lemon butter sauce.
