Crispy Fried Frog Legs

Ingredients Needed

• 24 frog legs, skin removed

• 1 cup all-purpose flour

• ½ cup cornmeal

• 1 (4 ounce) packet saltine crackers, crushed

• 1 tablespoon ground black pepper

• 2 teaspoons salt

• 1 teaspoon minced onion

• 2 eggs

• ½ cup milk

• 2 cups vegetable oil for frying

• 1 cup peanut oil for frying

Cooking Instructions

1. Rinse the frog legs and pat them dry. Set aside. In a large resealable bag, combine flour, cornmeal, crushed saltines, pepper, salt, and onion powder; shake to combine. In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs and milk.

2. Heat a mix of vegetable oil and peanut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, with the oil depth about 1/2 inch.

3. Dip the frog legs into the egg mixture, then coat thoroughly in the cracker crumb mix. Place the breaded legs on a plate, keeping them separate. Repeat the process with the remaining frog legs.

4. Carefully add the coated frog legs into the hot oil, frying in batches. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden and crispy. Transfer the cooked legs to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Repeat with the remaining frog legs.
