Fried alligator! My parents are friends with a nuisance gator hunter in Florida. When I was down there recently, he hooked me up with some gator meat. After much research, I cut the meat into chunks and soaked it in a mixture of 2 cups of buttermilk and a tablespoon of Tabasco. The breading was a mixture of flour, cornmeal, garlic powder, salt and pepper. The marinated chunks got shaken in a paper bag then straight into the Fry Daddy for just 3 minutes. I made a remoulade sauce and a lemon dill yogurt sauce. AIEEE it was good!Advertisement

Hmmmm…sounds like a fried chicken recipe BUT….I’ve had alligator before and there’s just something (texture?) about reptile meat that I can’t quite get past. Looks pretty delicious though!

It is similar to frying chicken, but only takes 3 minutes. I get your point about the texture, it can be chewy.
