Louisiana Style Fried Alligator Nuggets Recipes

LOUISIANA STYLE FRIED ALLIGATOR NUGGETS

Steps:

• Assemble all of your ingredients and supplies. This process goes fast. Have a large plate with paper towels next to the stove.
• Set up a saute pan on the stove with at least a ¼ inch of oil, and have tongs nearby.
• Set up three bowls on the counter, one with a cup of milk, the next with a cup of flour mixed with salt and pepper to taste, and the third for the breaded nuggets.
• Cut the gator into bite sized nuggets. The nature of the alligator meat will produce organic shaped chunks, but keep the size consistent.
• Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, dunk in the milk, then dredge in the flour again.
• Put the twice-dredged pieces in a bowl to await frying.
• Heat the oil to medium-high, it'll be ready when the oil is shiny.
• Gently add nuggets to the pan, and be careful not to crowd the pan. Keep an eye on the nuggets, they only require about a minute on each side to achieve the perfect golden color.
• Once out of the oil, drain the nuggets on paper towels and enjoy hot with your favorite seafood sauce or remoulade.
