Some people claim that alligator meat tastes just like chicken, but its texture and taste can better compare to that of veal, fish, or something in between. Due to its mild taste, alligator meat goes well with a wide variety of foods and ingredients. Some people serve alligator just as they would ham, in thin slices and served with a creamy dressing, jam, or pickled vegetables. Others prefer their alligator meat slow-cooked and shredded on a nice brioche bun. Fans of chicken wings will love alligator nuggets, especially when served with a side of dipping sauce. Try your alligator meat with a side of chili garlic mayonnaise, sauce piquant, sautéed peppers, picadillo, or chili.
