    Dominica is home to a endangered frog species that used to be their national dish called mountain chicken.  I had never had frog legs before and happen to come across some farm raised frog legs at my local Asian market so I thought I would try this Dominican recipe for mountain chicken.  Please note that you should not eat this dish if in Dominica using the endangered frog as it is endangered, however if you can find some farm raised legs like I did, I would highly recommend frying them up, they were delicious! Serve it with local vegetables they call provisions to round out the meal.
