Sense Sonnet - Chiller

Fried?

A cooking journey, leg by leg.
Make batter in a mixing bowl.
Flour, baking soda and egg,
Mixed with water in complete whole.
Let sit, and some veggie oil heat.
Trim up the meat, singe any hair.
Into the batter, dip the meat.
Into the oil, dip the meat there.
Spread eagled so as not to clump,
Until a lightly browned hor d'oeuvre.
Pull out and let drain the cooked lump.
Sprinkle with papricka and serve.

What's this? Will anybody guess?
A deep fried tarantula - yes!
