Alligator Bites

Method

Preparation

1

Prepare the Alligator Meat

Cut the alligator tail meat into bite-sized pieces. Rinse under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

2

Prepare the Breading

In a shallow bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, whisk together eggs and milk.

3

Bread the Alligator Bites

Dip each piece of alligator meat into the egg mixture, then dredge in the flour-cornmeal mixture until fully coated.

4

Fry the Alligator Bites

Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the breaded alligator bites in batches. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
