Frog Legs

Surprisingly mild and delicious. Don't be afraid to try these yourself.

Ingredients

  • 4 Frog Legs, rinsed and dried
  • 1 Large Egg, slightly beaten with 1 Tbsp. water and dash of salt
  • 1 cup Panko bread crumbs
  • 1/2 tsp. Garlic granules
  • 1/2 tsp. Onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp. Smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp. Cajun BBQ salt
  • Dash of white pepper
  • 1 1/2 inch Vegetable oil for frying the legs

Instructions

  • Beat the egg with 1 Tbsp. water and a dash of salt.
  • Add the garlic and onion powder, Cajun BBQ salt, and smoked paprika to 1 cup of Panko bread crumbs.
  • Soak the frog legs in the egg bath for about 10 minutes, turning half way so each side gets plenty of egg.
  • Dredge the legs in the seasoned Panko thoroughly on both sides. You may need to use your fingers to press the seasoned Panko onto the legs.
  • Dip into the egg bath again and repeat the Panko dredge.
  • Let the breaded frog legs rest for about 10 minutes before frying.
  • In a heavy bottomed skillet, get 1 1/2 inches of vegetable oil very hot. Test the temperature of the oil by flicking a drop of water into the pan. If it sizzles, you are ready to fry.
  • Gently place the legs into the hot oil and cook for 4-5 minutes. Turn the legs over and finish cooking for another 4-5 minutes until they are a rich, golden brown and begin to float in the oil.
