I've made this twice. Both times everyone agrees, most tender gator they ever had. Also, unlike most fried gator that is best eaten within a few minutes of leaving the grease, this recipe can be refrigerated and reheated leftovers, if any, are as good as when first prepared.
@@A1K3NFISHING Thats great to hear! I'd have to say that this recipe is still one of my favorite things to eat....but then, I love a good cajun crawfish boil also.....maybe a tie there.....anyway.... Perhaps that would be a good video to post some time.
I'm trying this!! Gonna sub the jar gravy with homemade gravy though. I'm a true Floridian and have never thought to smother my gator 😂... Wow, im impressed 😮🤤🤤
I have tried an alligator once in Florida and the meat was dry. This dish, on the other hand, looks very tender and delicious like a high cuisine! Thank you for the video!
You're welcome! That was my experience also. You will find this dish far from dry or tough. Just remember to invite me over for dinner when you try it!
@@jeffreyhammond3088 yeah I had it at islamorada restaurant it was not good I've been thinking of going on a hunt recently and this recipe looks perfect
FANTASTIC! Thank you SO much for this recipe! You got a New subscriber Edit: Another recipe. Put the gator meat through a meat grinder, quickly brown and cook in a large crock pot of Spicy Bean Chili for 8 hrs. Delicious!
Just curious, I don't live in gator country. After you shot it, did you do the "dressing", skinning and butchering yourself, or are there butchers who specialize in gator?
@@jeffreyhammond3088I'm in Jacksonville and as I was fishing yesterday I had a few 5 footers 🐊 swimming around my fishing lines... That would've been great eating right there man 🙂👍
He is funny. Like the technique but I would just use Slap your Mama cajun seasoning, lemon thyme & garlic. Season that egg batter & add buttermilk. He already beat it so it will be tender. Deep fry it 5 mins though so it doesn't look soggy. Eat right away.
I'm going to try your receipe on my husband. I bought filet alligator from our local food mart so it's not fresh caught! My husband once lived in Florida and has talked about alligator meat, so I'm going to give it a try too! I'll update you! after this weekend!
Some Yankee? If you knew anything about cooking you'd know this is a good recipe... What's that? You don't know anything about cooking? Yeah I know you didn't have to tell me.
Man that was looking actually really good until you added the Jarred chicken gravy man seriously that's some gross shit man seriously gross I imagine that had you not put that in there and you actually made some chicken gravy or bought a prepackaged dried version that you had to reconstitute naturally make is that it would be amazing everything else you've done is awesome that looks delicious and I really appreciate the ideas thank you
@@jeffreyhammond3088 hahahaha Still looks delicious I'm just going to make my own gravy is all thanks I appreciate the post of your recipe can't wait to try it
@@jeffreyhammond3088 yeah I recently found a place where I can just order whole Gators they're not ginormous they're small but I'm looking forward to trying your recipe with them again thanks
My opinion is that no one actually loves the taste of gator. It’s just something that isn’t always on the menu type of food so we act like we like it after we smother it in a bunch of shit. But what do I know?
I gotta say i absolutely love gator. I had a market in houston that specialized in sausage. I hsd a 30.00 a week habbit in gator alone. It was seasoned like thr best breakfast sausgage id ever had in my life. Didnt matter if i cooked 1 lb or 6 it never made it to a plate. It had no fat. 4lbs in a skillet wouldnt leave a tablespoon of grease in the skillet. I dont miss houston but that raggedy market is in my heart.
This is prob great but if youve never had gator or only had fried find a real life coonass an ask him how to get the dish youre going for. Ooowe dats magwundamus!
I must admit, I'm not sure what you're actually trying to say. I've eaten quite a bit of gator over the years in many ways. But I found this to be my absolute favorite. Actually just wrapped up a gator hunt where we bagged four gators and we have a freezer full now.
@@jeffreyhammond3088 im jealous. I was building hotels and i loved it when id get one in fla. Wed stop in Louisiana and load up with ice chests packed with gator then be line to a motel in fla thats got grills outside each room. And fire them up before we even got our clothes unloaded. And your recipe does sound great. Ive got some coonass buddies that have the craziest sounding recipes for nearly any critter and every event. And theyre a hell of a lot of fun to listen to. You make a serious trek from mich to fla for a hunt. Obviously youre good at it with a freezer full. Im in texas and miss being able to do that. If i went hunting dove right now the smart money would be on the bird.
@@jeffreyhammond3088 jesus you guys have good luck or a good guide. Supprised you didnt come back with some new hides for snake skin boots from what im hearing down there. Poor gators are about to be homeless from the mutant snakes. Well you dud the cooking vid you know what come next? The go pro grocery shopping trip next time. Where the shorts and safari shirts. Give irwin a nod. Work on the accent and youll have a million views. Krikie! Weah goin fe grocries en this swamp. May b weah see some snappas. Oh blyme Jeffry jus blew the shite otta that beeg bastat.
Haha! Sounds like someone hasn't had gator meat that's been prepared and taken care of properly. I've eaten about every kind of wild game and gator is one of my favorite. Hope you give it a try.

Gonna try that recipe. Alligator is good 👍
I am literally going to get started today. After watching 6 different videos. This one looks the best. Thank you.
Did you try it? Hope you liked it.
@@jeffreyhammond3088 hell yeah I did. You did an amazing job with the instructions. Turned out great. Thank you for the tips!
@@A1K3NFISHING Thats great to hear! I'd have to say that this recipe is still one of my favorite things to eat....but then, I love a good cajun crawfish boil also.....maybe a tie there.....anyway....

@@jeffreyhammond3088 yes it would! I love crawfish. I'd follow that recipe too.
LMFAO this is me doing the same thing you did but 4 years later 😂😂😂
Man that looks good. Mouth was watering... the deep fry gets old. Winner winner alligator tail dinner!
Great. Let me know what you think of it after you've tried it.
I might be kicked out of Louisiana for saying this to a yankee, but that looks pretty good. Good work.
Oh,my... Your cooking looks masterful.I would love to be a guest,right there,helping you prepare.Foodies of the world,unite!
Dude lost me at gravy, but I kept watching.
Dont like gravy? I feel sorry for you. lol
Yeah I hear you man, I always want to taste the gator a bit.... That is why I don't care for nuggets.... save the gravy and give me that gator filet 😋
Had to watch the video when you had the FL Gator hoodie in the thumbnail. Lol I can't wait to try this recipe :)
Haha. Go gators! Hope it works well for you
Go Gators!
Just made this and it's the best!!
I'm trying this!! Gonna sub the jar gravy with homemade gravy though. I'm a true Floridian and have never thought to smother my gator 😂... Wow, im impressed 😮🤤🤤
Let me know what ya think!
Thanks for the recipe. Trying it today. My kids are looking forward to it
Excellent! I will be doing another bunch up this week. Have to use up last year's gator since I have 4 tags to fill next month! Eat up!
Trying it out ....thank you

I'd give country gravy a try , like chicken fried steak, and add some heat. Also, everything before the gravy is how I make shrimp scampi.
I'm trying it
We live inxflorida our customer acttualy gave us about 2 pounds of alligator, fresh honey and venison for free. What a guy. Will try this
Im so fucking jealous, what type of feast did you have hahahaha.
Salute from miami/everglades
Joseph Gibbons, Hope you tried it and liked it. If you have a customer who gives you free alligator meat.....by all means, keep him happy!
Send me some venison please lol
Can you taste the gator in it real good? 🤔...
Looked great certainly 👍👌
Greetings from Florida 🌴
Absolutely. Just follow the exact directions and invite me for dinner!
Where in Florida are you from?

Deep frying too much will start turning it chewy..in my opinion. But hey, if u cook it..ill eat it!
Go Gators 👍👍
Thanks for sharing. I will try your way. I was gifted a bag on gator meat
Gifted a bag of gator meat? What an awesome.gift!
Same
Bro where do I get gifted bags of alligator meat??? 😂

@@jeffreyhammond3088 My husband loved, me, not so much!
@@6155ish well, I'm glad he did.....perhaps round 2 will be more enjoyable for you! Lol. Glad you at least tried it.

@@Shin_Lona comedy gold 😂😂😂
So we're going to listen to Yankee tell somebody how to cook a Southern Fried meat not an alligator within a thousand miles from there LOL
LOL. I hear ya.....but I live in more than one place...Probably closer to an alligator right now that you are....unless you're closer than 10 feet....
Some Yankee? If you knew anything about cooking you'd know this is a good recipe... What's that? You don't know anything about cooking? Yeah I know you didn't have to tell me.
so you merced your mascot?!
Lol. But they taste so good....
Can you use cream of chicken
I would stick with the regular chicken gravy...tried and true...
😲😋🤑😲
I cant qualify this as a great example if alligator is good or not.. because when you bread and fry something, it is highly likely it will be good.
Ok? Lol
