Cooking Tips

  • Don’t overcrowd the fryer: Fry in small batches to keep the bites crispy and avoid sticking.

  • Keep it crunchy: Sparkling water in the batter helps keep the coating light and airy.

  • Flavor boost: Marinate the alligator bites for 30 minutes in buttermilk or hot sauce for extra flavor and tenderness before frying.
