Fried alligator nuggets don't get any easier than this and they are restaurant-quality. Serve with cocktail sauce, Sriracha, mayo, whole grain mustard, or any dipping sauce you choose.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups vegetable oil
  • ounces seasoned crispy fish fry seafood breading mix , Louisiana® brand
  • 1 pound Louisiana alligator prime filet

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. 2

    Pour fish fry mix into a 1-gallon resealable plastic bag. Add alligator nuggets, reseal the bag, and shake to coat. Let stand for 5 minutes. Shake the bag again.

  3. 3

    Place half of seasoned alligator nuggets in the deep fryer. Cook until golden brown and nuggets float to the top of the oil, about 3 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted in the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Using tongs, transfer nuggets to a paper-towel lined plate.

  4. 4

    Repeat Step 3 with remaining nuggets. Serve immediately.
