Frog Legs are Sexy
This Extra Crispy Fried Frog Legs recipe is awesome, sleek and, yes, SEXY! I put together a marinade and breading that would make any finger licking fried chicken fan go Goo-goo for Frog Legs. So if you’ve never tried frog legs or you’re a die hard fan, this Recipe is for you because this is the absolute best way to have them. Just look at this pic straight out of the fryer and try not to drool.
Frog Legs in Restaurants
My personal experience with Frog Legs has been, up close and personal, in the South, where all good things seem to get bigger, better and bolder with egos and good old fashioned Southern Hospitality(which is amazing by the way). Frog Legs are on the menus at many of the localized restaurants, including Chinese Buffets. So, I’ve tried my fair share of recipes. I have learned a lot about what folks expect them to taste like. So trust this recipe, because, I think you’re really going to enjoy it!
