Best Crispy Frogs Legs Recipes

AIR FRYER FROG LEGS

Steps:

• Pat the frog legs dry with paper towels. Brush with oil and then place into a gallon-sized resealable plastic bag bag.
• Stir together flour, baking powder, paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
• Once combined, pour the flour mixture into the bag and add legs in flour mixture. Seal bag, and then coat frog legs by tossing until they are covered with the spice mixture. Lightly spray the basket with cooking spray, or brush a light coating of olive oil over the basket to prevent the legs from sticking.
• Place floured frog legs in an Air Fryer basket without overlapping or stacking. To get extra crispy air-fried frog legs with the deep fryer flavor, spray tops with cooking spray.
• Working in batches, air fry at 400 degrees F for 8-10 minutes. Flip halfway through the cooking time.
• Cooked frog legs are suggested to have 160° degrees internal temperature, and are golden brown, remove from the Air Fryer and serve immediately.

FRIED FROG LEGS WITH CREAMY ONION-MUSHROOM GRAVY

Steps:

• Rinse frog legs and pat dry. Separate the legs at the joint if desired. Set aside. In a medium bowl, mix together 1 cup milk, half of the beaten egg (about 1 tablespoon), garlic powder, and onion powder. Place the frog legs into the mixture, cover and refrigerate for about one hour, stirring occasionally.
• In a large bowl, stir together 1 cup flour, bread crumbs, cornmeal, baking powder, 2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, cayenne, paprika, oregano, thyme, cumin and parsley. Mix well and set aside.
• Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet or electric skillet set to medium heat. For an electric skillet, set to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Dip each frog leg portion into the flour and spice mixture, packing on as much of the dry mixture as you can. Place the coated frog legs into the pan so they are close but not touching. Cook for about 15 minutes, until browned and crispy, turning often to prevent burning. Take care, they will become more fragile as they cook. Remove from pan, and place on paper towels to drain.
• Add the chopped onion and mushrooms to the skillet, and sprinkle them with chicken bouillon. Cook, stirring frequently until onions and vegetables are soft. Sprinkle the last 2 tablespoons of flour into the skillet, and stir to blend in. Cook, stirring constantly until the flour is browned. Mix together the remaining 1 cup milk, evaporated milk, and the other half of the beaten egg. Gradually mix into the skillet. Whisk or stir constantly until the gravy is thick and bubbly. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the frog legs, and serve them smothered with gravy.
