Three of the most popular methods of cooking alligator ribs are baking, grilling, or smoking. Before you start, you can marinate your alligator ribs with flavors you and your guests find most appealing. When baking, it is important to wrap the ribs in foil, because they are lean and can dry out. Barbecuing over medium heat will result in tender gator ribs.
Alligator tenderloin can be deep-fried, pan-fried, or seared quickly with high heat or slowly by simmering in a sauce, stewing, or braising. Gator tenderloin can easily replace chicken, pork, veal, or fish in most of your favorite recipes.
