I've tried them more than once and can't figure out how everyone that loves them loves them.
I bite into the thick thigh part and feel like I'm chewing on a piece of rubber.
What do you like about them?

Frog Legs Sauce Piquante
Frog Legs Sauce Piquante
iNGREDIENTS
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
12 frog legs (about 1 pound)
1 tablespoon flour
1 cup chopped onions
1/4 cup chopped bell peppers
1/4 cup chopped celery
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
2 teaspoons chopped garlic
3 cups chopped, peeled, and seeded tomatoes, or 3 cups chopped canned tomatoes
1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
DIRECTIONS
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the frog legs and brown lightly on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the frog legs to a platter and set aside.
Add the flour to the oil. Stirring constantly for 4 to 5 minutes, make a medium brown roux, the color of peanut butter.
Add the onions, bell peppers, celery, salt, and cayenne. SautÈ for 3 to 4 minutes, or until wilted. Add the bay leaf and thyme. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and Tabasco. When the mixture begins to bubble, reduce the heat to medium. Simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 25 to 30 minutes. Lay the frog legs in the sauce and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, basting with the sauce. Sprinkle with the lemon juice and add the parsley.
Remove the bay leaves, and serve.
