I used to eat fried frog legs like they were going out of style and I've been craving them lately but I don't eat much fried food anymore. No problem. Let's make me like hot wings.
Rubbed with Swamp Venom and a little extra cayenne. Cooked at 425 raised and flipped at about the 5 min mark, glazed with a sriracha and sweet chili sauce mix. Pulled at 160°.
And plated with some celery and blue cheese dressing.

Thanks to all above!!
Fried frog legs taste and have similar texture to chicken. At least in my experiences. These did not The taste was very fresh and very aquatic tasting, if that makes sense. Was not what I was expecting but it was a good surprise. They do cook quick.-----------------------------------------analyze adapt overcome2008 -Large BGE. 2013- Small BGE and 2015 - Mini.

Brother, this is what I like to see. The frog legs got my attention but you have my respect. This really brings back fond memories for me. From a very young age all the way up into my forties, I spent many a nights on the river with a spot light in one hand and a gig in the other. I love to gig frogs as much as I love to eat them. The food looks outstanding. For a job well done, this easily earns the double seal my friend:

Here is a friendly tip my friend. If you ever get the chance, marinade your frog legs in whole milk for at least 4 hours. Preferably 8-12 hours if time allows. Some of the giant bulls and grunters can be a little strong or wild tasting. The milk will remove this taste and smooth them out. If you use the milk marinade, pull them between 150-155 internal and see what you think. Again, great cook brother.Location- Just "this side" of Biloxi, Ms.

Awesome Matt! We served frog legs at the restaurant, but only fried. I have been gigging a few times and was a lot of fun.
@SGH, we always used buttermilk , why the whole milk?------------------------------
