Deep-Fried Frog Legs Recipe Video

When I was a kid growing up in Tennessee, I remember walking down to my grandparents' pond on Signal Mountain and gigging frogs during the night. Then my dad and I would cook them up. This is an easy recipe with some great flavor. I picked up the frog legs over at Eagle Island Seafood, and I know a few of the local grocery stores like Food Lion also carry them.
