Fried Crab Legs Recipes

Steps:

• Heat vegetable oil to 350 degrees.
• Unwrap crabsticks and line them on foil or a plate.
• Whisk together eggs and milk to create egg wash.
• Dredge crab stick in flour; one at a time. (Coat evevly).
• Then dredge the crabstick in egg wash. (coat evenly).
• Now roll the crabstick in the panko breadcrumbs until completely covered.
• Repeat steps 4 thru 6 for about two or three more crabsticks.
• Deep fry at 350 degrees for about 2 minutes, turning over once. (Do not overcook, as the crab meat will begin to separate into strips.).
• While these are cooking, prepare the remaining crabsticks.
• NOTE: Do not overcrowd or cook all at once. Fry in batches for best results.

Steps:

• Crack legs and remove meat trying to get out whole pieces, picking out the joints and such is a great way to reserve meat for another recipe like stuffing for mushrooms etc so don't waste.
• crush crackers in a food processor (preferred method) until fine or use a freezer bag and crush with a rolling pin or a bottle (this method doesn't get them as fine as I like though).
• season one side of legs with garlic and cayene (or use the.
• seasonings you like).
• roll crab in flour then egg and last in crackers, place on a plate or cookie sheet until all are ready to fry.
• heat butter in a non-stick skillet on med heat until melted and add crab to pan cook a few minutes and turn. should be a light brown.
• turn again to allow further browning, remove to paper towles to drain excess grease
• serve while hot with lemon wedges and garnish with chives or parsley if desired.
