Time 30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 to 2 1/2 pounds small frog legs
1/3 cup lemon juice
1 tray of crushed ice
2 cups vegetable oil or shortening (for deep frying)
1/3 cup milk
2 eggs, separated
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
Dash of salt and freshly ground black pepper
Optional: dash cayenne pepper
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon garlic powder

Steps:

  • Wash frog legs thoroughly. Place in a large bowl; sprinkle with lemon juice, and cover with crushed ice. Refrigerate the frog's legs for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Heat the oven to 200 F or warm setting.
  • In a deep saucepan or skillet or deep fryer, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil or melted shortening to 375 F.
  • Line a large rimmed baking pan with paper towels.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together milk, egg yolks, and 2 teaspoons oil.
  • Beat the egg whites until stiff; fold into milk and egg yolk mixture.
  • In another bowl, combine the flour and garlic powder; blend well.
  • Sprinkle the frog legs with salt and freshly ground black pepper, and a little cayenne pepper, if using; dip each frog's leg in milk-egg mixture, then dredge in the flour and garlic powder mixture to coat thoroughly.
  • Working in batches, fry the coated frog legs in the hot fat until golden brown, about 2 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer to the paper towel-lined pan to drain. Put them in the preheated oven to keep warm while frying subsequent batches.

FRIED FROG'S LEGS



Fried Frog's Legs image

We ate all sorts of wild game and critters when I was a kid living in rural Louisiana. My mom always said, just tell her it is chicken and she'll eat it. She knew that if I knew what I was really eating, then I would push my plate away. That is how she got me to eat my first frog leg.
