A tasty once every 17 year treat. Great for those summer BBQ's when they are everywhere. 1.2 billion per acre I'm sure they are easy to find.

Time 12m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

30 -40 cicadas
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup flour
1 egg
1 tablespoon milk
oil (for frying)

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a pan.
  • Find the Adult Cicada they are the ones with red eyes and clear colored wings.You can either find them by following their beautiful screeching sound or just locate any tree.
  • Leave them as is no need to tear off wings or legs they add to the crispyness.
  • Mix together flour and seasonings.
  • Mix together milk and egg.
  • First dip cicada into egg then into flour mixture. Then drop into oil. Don't worry they wont try to fly away they are too dumb for that.
  • Fry them for no longer the 2 minutes.
  • Transfer to paper towels. Then serve immediately.
  • I like a little hot pepper on mine but you can also use ketchup for the kids.
