Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Frog Legs

    In a large bowl, soak the frog legs in buttermilk for at least 1 hour, or overnight in the refrigerator for best results.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Coating

    In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Coat the Frog Legs

    Remove the frog legs from the buttermilk, shaking off excess. Dredge them in the flour mixture until well coated.

  4. 4

    Frying Method

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the coated frog legs for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Broiling Method (Alternative)

    Preheat the broiler. Place the coated frog legs on a baking sheet and broil for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until crispy and cooked through.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the frog legs.
