12 hr 20 min
4 Persons
- 2 pounds (6 to 8) frog legs, split
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons salt
- 1 tablespoon ground white pepper
- Oil, for frying
Pinot Grigio Mayo:
- 1bottle Pinot Grigio
- 4 cups extra-heavy mayonnaise
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- The night before: Add the buttermilk to a large bowl with the frog legs. Cover the bowl and refrigerate overnight (at least a good 10 to 12 hours).
- The day of: Mix the flour, salt and white pepper in a large bowl. Dredge the legs, in the flour mixture, coating them completely. Shake off all of the excess flour. In a deep-fryer or heavy-bottomed pot, heat enough oil to come halfway up the sides of the pot, to 375 degrees F.

Pinot Grigio Mayo:
In a large saute pan over low heat, add the wine and simmer to reduce it to a syrup. Cool and combine with mayonnaise in a small bowl. Season to taste, refrigerate until needed.
