French style frog legs in butter and garlic - weird but tastey!

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil reduces saturated fat while still providing richness.

frog legs

🥗Healthier: chicken thighs

💰Cheaper: chicken drumsticks

Chicken is more widely available and less expensive.

Soak frog legs in milk for at least 30 minutes.

Remove frog legs from milk and place on kitchen towel to dry.

Season both sides of the frog legs with freshly ground salt and black pepper.

Melt 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet.

Dredge the frog legs in flour, shaking off the excess flour.

Place the frog legs in the hot butter and oil in the skillet.

Cook the frog legs until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes on one side, then turn them over.

If the legs pop up, hold them down to ensure even browning.

After turning, cook for a few more minutes until golden brown on both sides.

Add minced garlic, chopped parsley, and about 1/2 cup of white wine to the skillet.

Turn the heat down and cover the skillet with a lid to steam for about 4 minutes.

Remove the frog legs from the pan and let the sauce thicken, adding more butter if desired.

Pour the sauce over the frog legs and sprinkle with extra parsley.
