Simple Frog Legs II
Simple Frog Legs II
This is my wife's way to cook frog legs, very simple method. The frogs we get are locally harvested here in the village, they are not big but they are delicious. We get whole, cleaned, skinned frogs, I use the legs, the rest of the frog goes to the family and they use those to make a spicy Thai dish. This is a low ingredient recipe that makes a great meal. This is a make as much as you want recipe.
Ingredients
- fresh frog legs
- chicken stock powder
- black pepper
- all purpose flour
- cooking oil
Instructions
- Rinse the legs and separate them, cut off the feet, and place them in a mixing bowl. We received 15 frogs, so we had 30 legs.
- Add chicken stock powder, about 1½ teaspoons is perfect, then sprinkle on some black pepper as desired.
- Stir the legs to cover them with the stock powder and pepper. Place in the fridge for 20-30 minutes.
- Add some flour to a zip lock bag, ½ cup or so, add the legs, close and shake to coat them with flour.
- Heat some oil in a non stick pan, when hot, add some legs in a single layer, and fry until golden brown, turning them as needed. Remove to paper towels to drain. Repeat until all the legs are cooked.
- Serve with sides of your choice. Enjoy.
Notes
I paid 300 Baht for the 15 frogs, and with the legs we cooked and the rest of the frogs cooked by the rest of the family, this provided about 10 servings. Plus I have some legs left over for dinner another day. This works out to about 90 cents per serving overall.
