This dish is very delicious. My two sons, ages 19 and 14 ate this dish and asked for seconds. I made the dish again for a friend and daughter. Was not sure they would try but they did and loved it. Thank you Saveur, I always find amazing recipes in each magazine.

INGREDIENTS
12 pairs of frogs' legs (about 12 oz.), fresh or frozen and thawed1 1⁄2 cups milk
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 cup flour
16 tbsp. clarified butter
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp. finely chopped fresh parsley
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Snip apart each pair of frogs' legs. Combine frogs' legs and milk in a bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Transfer legs to paper towels, pat dry, and season generously with salt and pepper. Put flour on a plate and, working in batches, coat legs with flour, shaking off excess, and transfer to another plate.2. Heat 6 tbsp. butter in a 12" skillet over high heat until sizzling. Add half of the frogs' legs and cook, flipping once, until golden brown, 3–4 minutes. Transfer legs to a plate and set aside; wipe out skillet; repeat with 6 more tbsp. butter and remaining legs. Discard butter in skillet; then add remaining butter and the garlic and cook, swirling constantly, until mixture is fragrant and garlic is lightly browned, about 1 minute. Remove skillet from heat, add lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper. To serve, place frogs' legs in the center of a serving plate, drizzle sauce around edge of plate, and garnish with parsley. Serve with sautéed potatoes and tomatoes, if you like.
