FRIED GATOR NUGGETS

Steps:
- Whisk the mayo, mustard, paprika, jalapeño, garlic, and green onion to make the remoulade. Season to taste with a few dashes of hot sauce.
- Season the alligator chunks with salt and pepper and place inside of a bowl or sealable bag with the buttermilk. Marinate for at least an hour, but no more than 24.
- When you're ready to cook, heat oil in a deep fryer or a large cast iron skillet to 350 degrees.
- Mix the flour, breadcrumbs, and Cajun seasoning. Spread across a plate.
- Remove the alligator from the bowl and squeeze out the excess liquid. Dredge each nugget across the breadcrumbs to coat. For extra crispy nuggets, dip them back into the buttermilk and then dredge in breadcrumbs again.
- When the oil is hot, carefully drop in each piece and fry until golden brown, or about 5 minutes, depending on nugget size. Work in batches as needed and transfer to a wire rack when cooked. Serve hot with the remoulade.
