What is y’all’s go to way to fry frog legs?
I have about 20 pounds and want to cook some at the camp over the hunting season.

This is the only way I have ever done it:
Dry legs then season with slap ya mama’s and lightly add ground mustard.
Roll in a mixture of fish fry with added cavenders and ground red pepper.

That that has always left the legs with a very then crust. Wondering if y’all have a way that sounds like it could be better.

I do mine on the pit. Normally let them soak in hot sauce over night. Remove and dry them. Rub a light coat of mustard and season with Tony’s then on the bbq put they go. Come out great. Mustard makes a nice crust

at home I like them broiled, garlic/lemon/butter.
at the camp I think I’d grill them but be careful not to overcook

I do them the same way I do my fish. I use zatarans crispy southern fish fry, but I add a little Tony’s, garlic powder and onion powder to it. I soak the legs in milk because I hate mustard. Roll them around in the fish fry and toss in the grease.

Soak legs in milk for several hours
Crack several eggs and roll legs in egg and then into seasoned flour.
Back into egg and back into four.
Don’t squash the batter into the leg- let it be fluffy
This makes it a nice thick crispy crust like restaurants serve

Why the fascination with mustard?
HaMburgers and hot dogs but yuk on a frog leg or fish fillet.

For every 5 lbs—

Soak in 2 cups buttermilk /table spoon salt and a cap of crab boil over night

Drain well. Beat 4 eggs with 1/2 cup of milk. Drop in wet.

4 cups AP flour and 2 cups corn flower (not meal). 1 table spoon black pepper , 2 table spoons slap your mama.

Drop, toss and then fry for 2 minutes or until they float.

Sauces

Home made tarter
Home made cocktail
Sweet chilly oil
Or—(my fav)—sauté onion, fennel and garlic in butter until the onion and fennel caramalize. Toss the fried legs with and serve.

Lightly season frog legs with Tony Chachere's creole seasoning blend. Measure 4-5 cups of all purpose flour in a large bowl, and add 3 TBSP of Tony's seasoning to the flour. Blend the flour and seasoning together, then roll seasoned frog legs in the seasoned flour. Deep fry at 350 degrees until lightly brown. Pre-heat oil to 350, and Don't overcook them or they will be tough to chew. To me Frog legs are best fried in seasoned flour than in a seasoned cornmeal mix.

A very light coating of yellow mustard helps the fry seasoning blend stick to the meat. I place my fish fillets in a colander to remove all the excess water possible. This aids in frying the fish crispier. The problem is sometimes you remove so much water the fillets become dry, so adding 1-2 TBSP of yellow mustard and lightly coating the fish will allow the seasoning blend to adhere to the fish. If the fish/frog legs are moist enough for the seasoning blend to adhere to them then I don't use any mustard.

Soak in buttermilk, use Louisiana chicken fry. Make a wet batter with it and then use the remaining dry batter and fry. I also toss some in Buffalo sauce and it’s always a hit. They key is they are crunchy and the wet batter allows it to stay battered rather then using just flower.

Soak frog legs in a milk and egg wash, dredge in seasoned flour and fry in about a 1/2” cooking oil. After frying frogs pour some of the oil off and use left over seasoned flour to make gravy. Make some mashed potatoes. Frog legs make some of the best gravy ever. Frog legs, gravy, mashed potatoes, and biscuits. Hard to beat.
