24 frog's legs, skin removed
1 (4 ounce) packet saltine crackers, crushed
1 cup all-purpose flour

  • Rinse the frog's legs and pat dry; set aside. In a large resealable bag, combine the saltine cracker crumbs, flour, cornmeal, onion, salt and pepper. Shake to mix. In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs and milk.
  • Heat the vegetable oil and peanut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should be about 1/2 inch deep.
  • Dip the frog's legs into the milk and egg, then dip into the cracker mixture until evenly coated. Carefully place them in the hot oil.

When I was growing up, my father exposed us to all types of food. One of my favorites was fried frog legs. My 14 year old niece, Dana visited me this weekend. I asked her if she had ever eaten frog logs before? Her reply was "yuck, auntie" I dont think I could eat those. Well needless to say, she tasted them and loved them....
