1. 01

   Soak Frog Legs

   If you have the time, let the frog legs soak in the milk in the fridge for about an hour. This optional step can help tenderize the meat.
2. 02

   Rinse and Dry Legs

   Rinse the frog legs thoroughly under cold water, then pat them completely dry with kitchen paper. This helps them brown better in the pan.
3. 03

   Heat Oil and Butter

   Add the 1 tablespoon olive oil and half of the 2 tablespoons garlic butter to a large wok or frying pan. Set it over high heat until the butter begins to foam, but be careful not to let it burn.
4. 04

   Pan-Fry Frog Legs

   Add the frog legs to the hot pan in a single layer. Pan-fry them for about 10 minutes, turning regularly, until they're golden brown on both sides.
5. 05

   Finish with Butter and Herbs

   Right at the end of cooking, add the remaining garlic butter to the pan along with the freshly chopped parsley.

   Season with a pinch of pepper and a pinch of salt to taste, tossing everything to coat the legs in the melted butter and herbs.

   Serve

   Divide the frog legs among individual plates. Serve them immediately with some grilled bread, perfect for soaking up the garlic butter, and a crisp green salad.
