    Actually, you can definitely feed your frog meat if you are in a bind, but it can't become a habit. It's no worse than feeding yourself meat (coming from a vegetarian). You just need to remember that meat does not have all the nutrients it requires, as it is only a portion of the animal. When feeding chicken, I would boil it first to make sure to kill any salmonella, or very rarely, ranavirus.

    I believe chicken livers are the best part to offer if you worry about nutrient content since it is the most nutritious part of any animal. These are ok to offer occationally. Some people use brine shrimp as treats too, but everything needs to come from a viable source. Once boiled everything should be fine. You must consider protein content as most meats contain a lot and it will take the frog a considerable time to digest certain meats due to them having difficulty digesting certain tissues.

    I have also been told that chicken livers are the best part to feed, but I have never bought them in my life except for camera-trap bait, so it's not something I think the average person would have sitting around in their fridge in a pinch lol. I would not recommend meat cuts to be a consistent food source, but if you are in a bind, boiled pieces will be fine.
