Crispy Air-Fried Frog Legs deliver a light, crackling cornmeal crust with a hint of seafood seasoning that lets the delicate, tender meat shine.

1

Place the frog legs in a bowl and pour the milk over them. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
2

Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) following the manufacturer's instructions.
3

Meanwhile, add the cornmeal, flour, and seafood seasoning to a gallon-sized resealable plastic bag. Seal and shake to mix.
4

Remove 1 pair of frog legs from the milk, letting the excess drip back into the bowl. Place them in the bag with the seasoned cornmeal mixture and shake to coat. Dip the frog legs back into the milk and return them to the cornmeal mixture. Shake to coat again and transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining frog legs.
5

Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray and add as many frog legs as will fit without overlapping. Spray the tops with cooking spray. Work in batches if necessary.
6

Air fry for 5 minutes. Spray any chalky spots with cooking spray. Continue cooking until crispy, about 3 minutes more. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batches.
