My first time cooking or eating frog legs. Picked these up from my local butchershop.
Frog Legs
We're doing a taste test for my radio show tonight. I'm just keeping it simple - soaked in milk, then dredged in seasoned flour and pan-fried.
We'll be using an outdoor propane burner and a wok or cast iron skillet.
I've always read/heard that they "taste like chicken". I hope there's more to it than that.
It's just really bony.
How much did that run you? I always like getting the "discarded" cuts of meat because they're stupid cheap and just as good.
I buy about chicken feet at $0.75/lb and fry them up instead of making hotwings, tastes just the same. Just less meat and with knuckles.
Depends on how you make it, but otherwise yeah frog is a fairly neutral meat so it doesn't taste like much on its own.
They taste like chicken you've fed fish to for about a month beforehand. They actually technically taste more like reptile but since most reptile and frogs people eat are farm raised they are bland and taste like chicken; frog like wings and reptile like thighs. Reptile is supposed to taste more like duck or goose.
Got this ready. I don't know whether it's that important to use peanut oil, or if the canola I have is fine.
They're nothing special, really. Sure, it's a fun novelty, like alligator meat, but it's not as good as the more common meats. There's a reason why frog isn't on most menus.
I also have plenty of butter, which I can clarify.
