Frog Legs


We were walking through the grocery store getting stuff to make spaghetti for Garrett's birthday dinner when I noticed that the meat department had a package of frog legs. The butcher said that he did not order them but they just showed up on the delivery truck, I had to buy them even though I don't know how to make them I figured that it could not be that hard. When I got home I looked up how to make them, the simplest way seems to be to fry them up like chicken legs. I found a recipe on cooks.com
6 Frog Legs
Salt and Pepper
Lemon Juice
1 Egg
2 cups flour
1 tsp seasoned salt
1 tsp paprika
Skin legs if necessary, wash and split in half then pat dry. Soak in lemon juice for a few minutes then put on a plat and season with Salt and Pepper. In a large bowl mix flour and other dry seasonings, and in smaller bowl beat egg. Dip legs in egg then roll in flour mixture, then put in deep fryer for 2-3 minutes.
I was a little cautious at first, I have heard that it tastes like chicken, but then again doesn't every thing,but guess what, the texture and taste is just like chicken. If you want to try it i guess it is okay, but at $6.00 a pound I think we will stick to chicken legs.
