Frog Legs

Method

Frog Legs

  1. 1

    Soak the Frog Legs

    In a large bowl, combine the frog legs and buttermilk. Make sure the frog legs are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight if possible.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Coating

    In a shallow dish, mix together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until well combined.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    Coat the Frog Legs

    Remove the frog legs from the buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off. Dredge each leg in the flour-cornmeal mixture until fully coated.

  5. 5

    Fry the Frog Legs

    Carefully add the coated frog legs to the hot oil, a few at a time. Fry for about 4-5 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Carolina Gold Aioli

  1. 6

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Carolina gold mustard, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until smooth and well blended.

  2. 7

    Chill the Aioli

    Cover the aioli and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld before serving.
