Treat your ingredients with care...

• Frogs legs — Ensure that the frogs legs are fresh and properly cleaned before marinating. If you cannot find fresh frogs legs, frozen ones can be used as well.
• Garlic — Use fresh garlic cloves for the best flavor. Mince the garlic finely to evenly distribute its flavor throughout the marinade.
• Butter — Opt for unsalted butter to have better control over the saltiness of the dish. If you prefer a dairy-free option, use a suitable butter substitute.

Tips & Tricks

• For an extra burst of flavor, add a squeeze of lemon juice to the garlic and herb butter marinade.
• Serve the frogs legs with a side of fresh baguette to soak up the delicious garlic and herb butter.
• If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the marinade.
• To ensure a crispy exterior, make sure the skillet is hot before adding the frogs legs.
• If you're unable to find frogs legs, you can substitute them with chicken wings for a similar texture and taste.
