Combine the buttermilk and hot sauce in a bowl.
Soak the alligator meat in this mixture for 2-4 hours in the fridge.
This keeps the meat tender and flavorful.
Mix the bread crumbs and flour in a separate bowl.
Add the Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste.
Preheat the oil in a large skillet to 350°F.
Make sure the oil is hot enough to fry properly without soaking the meat.
Remove the alligator from the buttermilk and coat each piece evenly in the flour mixture.
Shake off any excess.
Carefully place the coated alligator pieces in the hot oil.
Fry until golden brown on all sides.
Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
