Simple Sauteed Frog's Legs
"When I was a kid my grandmother used to fix frog legs this way and I still fix them like this now. Nothing fancy, just simple old fashion cooking."

Hello, I work for a non-profit watershed restoration group on Vancouver Island, Canada called The Tsolum River Restoration Society. We currently have a large problem with invasive American Bullfrogs and are looking to create a cookbook that would encourage others to hunt these frogs for food. Would it be possible to use your recipe in a book used for outreach, educational, and possible fundraising purposes? We would credit you of course and include your website name.

These were real good for a basic recipe. I found them a little bland and I added more pepper to them after cooking. It greatly enhanced the flavor. The next time I make them, I will add some garlic when cooking or some garlic powder in with the flour. -
Excellent frog legs. I used fat free buttermilk and added 1 Tablespoon of Old Bay to the flour. They were so easy to prepare and better than any other recipe. This one goes in the permanent keeper file. Thanks for sharing.

I love frog legs. Couldn't hardly believe it, DD is pretty picky, but she loved them too. Great recipe.

Totally, awesome! My son purchased a bunch of flash frozen frogs legs for my DH birthday, and I set about preparing them, simply, but with a burst of flavor! And this had that! I used a buttermilk/tabasco hot sauce to marinate, then set about sauteing them in delicious-ness. So easy to fix, and so forth while. My DH loved every single bite. Sometimes simple is the best policy. Thanks for posting! -
Preparing to follow this recipe, adding the Old Bay. I can hardly wait!!!

I’m over the hill and heading down the back side at a rapid rate it seems, single, and retired now.
My loves? Good friends, most of all. After that I guess it would be wildlife and photographing it. In fact, I love anything that deals with wild animals and the outdoors. Then comes playing with my dog and making a mess trying to cook in the kitchen or around the fire pit, grill or smoker while enjoying a good tumbler of whiskey (whisky).
