Ingredients

  • 3 Pounds Frog Legs skinned
  • 16 Fluid Ounces Injectable Marinade Creole Butter flavored is good
  • 2 Cups All Purpose Flour
  • 2 Tablespoons Creole Seasoning
  • 2 teaspoons Garlic Powder
  • 2 teaspoons Onion Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • Vegetable Oil for frying

Instructions

  • Place the frog legs into a bowl and cover with the Creole Butter marinade.
    3 Pounds Frog Legs, 16 Fluid Ounces Injectable Marinade
  • Allow to marinate (soak) for at least 4 hours (overnight is really good).
  • Add oil to your frying pot and heat to 350°F. In a large bowl add the flour, onion powder, garlic powder, Creole Seasoning and black pepper and mix with a whisk.
    2 Cups All Purpose Flour, 2 Tablespoons Creole Seasoning, 2 teaspoons Garlic Powder, 2 teaspoons Onion Powder, Vegetable Oil, 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • Add the frog legs to the flour mixture to coat.
  • Deep fry until golden brown - about 4-5 minutes.
  • Remove and allow to drain on paper towels.

Notes

Soaking the frog legs really helps soften the meat before frying. If you can't get the injectable marinade then milk or buttermilk is a good alternative.
