How to Make
Start by preparing all ingredients and ensuring the frog legs are properly cleaned

Use buttermilk to tenderize the meat and help the coating stick better
Fry at the right temperature to achieve a crispy outer layer while keeping the inside juicy
Serve immediately to enjoy the best taste and texture
