Directions:
Before frying, heat oil to 375°F / 190°C / Gas Mark 5
Substitutions:
• Frog Legs: Small, skinless chicken wings or tender chicken drumettes if frog legs are unavailable.
• Vegetable Oil: Olive oil, canola oil, or peanut oil can be used instead.
• Lemon Juice: White vinegar or apple cider vinegar works perfectly for the ice bath soak.
1. Wash: Rinse 5 pounds of small frog legs thoroughly under cold running water.
2. Soak: Place the cleaned meat into a large Dutch oven, sprinkle with 3/4 cup of lemon juice, and cover completely with 1 part of crushed ice.
3. Chill: Refrigerate the covered pot for 3 hours to tenderize.
4. Whisk: Combine 1 cup of milk, 6 large egg yolks, 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt in a bowl, then mix well.
5. Whip: Beat 6 large egg whites in a separate clean bowl until stiff peaks form, then gently fold them into the milk mixture to create your fluffy batter.
6. Coat: Remove the meat from the ice, pat dry, sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper, dip each piece into the fluffy batter, and dredge thoroughly in 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour.
7. Fry: Drop the coated pieces carefully into the preheated oil and fry until they turn a beautiful golden brown.
8. Drain: Place the fried pieces onto paper towels to remove any excess oil.
9. Savor: Dig into these hot, crunchy treats while they are wonderfully fresh.
10. Shelf Life: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a warm oven or an air fryer to bring back the original crunch.
