Ketolicious Frog Legs

We made a keto friendly version of fried frog legs. I did some in the air fryer and some deep fried. I’m sorry to say…… deep frying beats air frying on taste all day and how heart healthy are pork rind battered frog legs anyway so may as well deep fry.

    17. Check the internal temperature to ensure it reaches 160°F before eating.
