Use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend instead of regular flour and ensure your Cajun seasoning is certified gluten-free.
Add 1/2 teaspoon of extra cayenne pepper to the dredge and a tablespoon of your favorite hot sauce to the remoulade for more heat.
For a baked version, dredge the bites, spray them with cooking oil, and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and cooked through.
If you're short on time, skip the 30-minute marinade. Just dip the alligator pieces in the buttermilk mixture right before dredging.
