I've never done it before and am giving it a shot this weekend.

Do you do anything different or is it pretty much the same as fish?

TIA

Some times have a hard time getting batter to stick. What helps is dipping the frog legs in flour before the wet batter then final coat in seasoned flour. This helps the batter to stick a lot better.

Also, don't overcook them especially if they are bigger frog legs. They will get rubbery and tough quick if over cooked.

Make some butter / garlic sauce. Run the frog legs though it and grill over high heat. Wipe legs with the sauce while grilling. Better than frying them. Doesn't take long. Thank me later.

Put the frog legs in pickle juice about 12 hours before you fry them. You will thank me later.

They can sometimes move/pop at the joints rather abruptly when you drop them in the oil and create quite a splatter. Probably should be aware of that and plan accordingly as to the vessel you choose.

I use chicken fry at 350-360 degrees and only 4-5 legs at a time. It makes a positive difference.

It's been a minute, but back in the day when my dad went frogging on a regular basis, my mother cooked them like fried chicken.

She'd salt and pepper the legs, dip in milk, then dip in scrambled raw egg, then shake in paper bag with salted flour. At least that's how she did chicken. It's possible that she'd just do milk and flour for frog legs because they seemed to have a little less batter than chicken.

I've only made them once and I'm pretty sure I used the chicken method.
