gator bites
(3 ratings)
I'm originally from NY and now I live down south. I wasn't sure if I would like gator at all but its actually pretty good. You might not find the meat up north though. Oh and yes it does taste like chicken...lol. We usually go to a local wings place here that has gator bites served with honey mustard and i wanted to try making them at home. I found a recipe online and changed it by adding white cornmeal to the pancake flour. Was a big hit!

1After you cut the tail meat into bite size pieces soak them in buttermilk for 2 hrs or more.

5Then add about 8- 10 pieces of meat to the bag at a time and shake to coat them with flour.
