Crispy Frog Legs
Ingredients
  • 24 frog legs, skin removed
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cornmeal
  • 1 (4 ounce) packet saltine crackers, crushed
  • 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon minced onion
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 cups vegetable oil for frying
  • 1 cup peanut oil for frying
Instructions
1
Prepare the ingredients by washing and drying the frog legs thoroughly; set them aside momentarily.
2
Combine a mixture of flour, cornmeal, crushed saltine crackers, black pepper, salt, and finely chopped onion in a large container designed for storing food; mix the ingredients thoroughly.
3
In another bowl, whisk together eggs and milk until well combined.
4
Heat a substantial amount of vegetable oil and peanut oil in a large cooking vessel over an elevated heat setting. The ideal depth for the oil should be about 1/2 inch deep.
5
Dip each frog leg into the egg mixture in batches, ensuring all legs are coated; then press the leg firmly into the cracker mixture to achieve an even coating. Arrange the breaded legs, unstacked, on a serving plate. Repeat this process for the remaining frog legs.
6
Carefully lower each breaded leg into the hot oil in batches, taking care not to overcrowd the vessel. Fry the legs until they turn a golden brown color, which should take around 4 to 5 minutes on each side. Transfer the fried legs to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Repeat this process for the remaining frog legs.
