For a richer flavor, use clarified butter for the garlic butter sauce. Adjust the amount of chili paste in the dipping sauce according to your spice preference. Ensure the oil temperature is consistent to achieve perfectly crispy frog legs. Serve immediately after frying to maintain optimal crispness.
