Air Fryer Frog Legs are amazing! For years, readers have been asking me how to make them, so I ordered a batch up and made a huge batch!

Frog Legs

Frog legs are exactly as they sound. They are widely eaten around the globe but are really popular in French and Chinese Countries.

You can prepare them by either battering them or marinating them. The traditional way to deep-fry them is by battering them, which I did in my air fryer.

They are available at some grocery stores, depending on where you live. They are also available through the internet if you can not find them in your area.

Ingredients Needed To Make Air Fryer Frog Legs

• Frog Legs
• Whole Milk or Buttermilk
• Cornmeal
• All-Purpose Flour
• Old Bay Seasoning
• Cooking Spray

How To Make Air Fryer Frog Legs

Place the frog legs into a large bowl, add the milk or the buttermilk to the bowl. Then add the Old Bay Seasoning and Garlic Powder. Cover and place into the refrigerator for about an hour.

In another bowl, mix the cornmeal, flour, and another 1 teaspoon of Old Bay Seasoning. Mix well.

As you remove the frog legs from the milk/buttermilk marinate, let the milk drip off, and then place the frog legs into the cornmeal batter, repeat with the milk marinade and again in the cornmeal mixture.

As you double coat them, place them into a greased air fryer basket, sprayed with cooking spray. Set the temperature to 400 degrees F, air fryer setting for 5 minutes, flip and air fry for another 3-5 minutes. Until fully cooked.

If you really want them to crisp up, I would suggest spraying them generously with cooking spray.

Some Pro Tips

• If you want the frog legs to crisp up in the air fryer, the best advice I can give you is to spray them generously with cooking spray. The cooking spray will help your batter get crispy.
• If you want to know if your frog legs are fully cooked, use a meat thermometer. Per the website, the frog legs should reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees F.
• Do not crowd the basket, as you really want the hot air to flow freely around the basket.
