Although frog legs are most often associated with French cuisine, the amphibious meat is a delicacy in different parts of the world, where no edible creatures go to waste. Frog legs are most often grilled, broiled or fried, and resemble very small, skinny and long poultry legs. While the phrase "tastes like chicken" is often applied to frog legs, the flavor is somewhere between poultry and meaty catfish. Look for frog legs at Asian markets and online, or on the menu at some Asian, French or Southern restaurants.
