As I was wondering around Food City yesterday, I happened to stop by the Fresh Meat & Seafood Dept.
I was gazing through the glass at all the nice lookin' shrimp, salmon, mahi mahi, and just happened upon
some frog legs. Quite expensive little buggers they are, but I thought, why not? So I asked the lady for a
a pound, which she ended up using everything she had. (8 of them). She packed them on ice and gave them
to me so I hurriedly headed home. Once home I got to thinking, okay if Frog Legs taste like chicken, then I will
do them up like I would chicken. So I laid them out (after a cold wash), then sprayed with some EVOO, and sprinkled
them with some of Jeff's Rub. Here is what that looked like:
So I took them to the "no fail" MES 40 set at 225* and using my AMNS and some Hickory dust, I let em smoke
for just a bit over 2 hrs. Here are the results.
Man they sure were good. But one thing for sure, they did "NOT" taste like chicken. The meat was tender not chewy like
I would have thought. Had a slight gamey taste, but not over bearing. All in all, they were Great and I will definately
do these again.
Thanx for lookin and listenin.
