Well, first off, obviously these aren’t frog legs, they’re chicken wings. We couldn’t find frog legs locally. I was down with just skipping this recipe for once, which would have made it only the second recipe we’ve skipped (the other being the dog biscuits from the same book), but we had chicken wings we didn’t have a plan for and the write-up even suggests chicken as a substitute, so here we are.

This one has a video.

Differences from the recipe as written:

Chicken wings not frog legs
Our “white wine” is mead
Used almond flour as our flour
Lemon juice was bottled
We didn’t strain the sauce because why get rid of those delicious shallots?
Parsley was dried not fresh

Reactions: We both enjoyed it, I pretty much scarfed mine down. Partner found the contrast between the classy cooking techniques and the “low class” chicken wings amusing.

Would we make this again: As for this version, partner would like to try a variation using red wine and white onion. As for the original recipe, if we can find frog legs, maybe we’ll try the actual version? As it is, if you’re just using chicken wings, there are a lot of other pretty similar recipes to play with.
