Description

Make crispy, tender Air Fryer Frog Legs at home with this easy, flavorful recipe. Quick, golden, and juicy—perfect for a fun, adventurous meal.

Ingredients 

  • 1 pound frog legs, fresh or frozen
  • 2 cups buttermilk, or milk
  • 1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning , (for milk mixture)
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder, (for milk mixture)
  • 2 cups yellow cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons Old Bay Seasoning

Instructions

  • 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.

Equipment

  • Cooking Spray
  • Parchment Paper, optional
