You will need 2 cast iron fryers (to hold heat), for best results, to prepare this delicious meal.
When alligator is frozen, take from freezer 12 hours before. Place the amount to be used in a large covered bowl or pan. Cover with milk while thawing out. (It will also tenderize the meat and take the wild taste out at the same time.) When completely thawed, separate the pieces. Drain.
Add 1 cup fresh milk, mixing with enough Italian salad dressing to cover meat. Make sure all pieces are soaked. Let stand about 2 to 3 hours.
Remove from the liquid. Sprinkle heavily with meat tenderizer. Salt and pepper to taste. Roll in Chic Fry. Place in 1/2 inch oil (your choice) and cover. Let fry about 15 minutes, turning only once. Have deep fryer with about 4 inches of hot oil. (Add a 1/2 cup Papaia olive oil to cut down on cholesterol and add zest while frying.)
Remove pieces from fryer, drop one piece at a time into the hot oil. After about 2 minutes, the pieces will brown completely. Drain on paper towel.
If the meat is not frozen, soak in milk before the salad dressing which really changes the wild taste.
