Fried Alligator Bites Ingredients
Directions for Fried Alligator Bites
1. Prepare the Alligator
In a bowl, soak the alligator meat in buttermilk for at least 1 hour. This helps to tenderize the meat and adds flavor.
2. Mix the Breading
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
3. Bread the Alligator
Remove the alligator pieces from the buttermilk and allow excess to drip off. Dredge the pieces in the flour mixture, ensuring they are well coated.
4. Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
5. Fry the Alligator Bites
Carefully add the breaded alligator bites to the hot oil in batches, frying for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
6. Prepare the Dipping Sauce
In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, hot sauce, and lemon juice. Adjust the hot sauce to taste.
7. Serve
Serve the fried alligator bites hot with the zesty dipping sauce on the side.
