Preparing and Sizzling the Cajun Fried Corn
For the ultimate corn experience, opt for sweet yellow corn—nothing else will do! Whether you choose fresh off the cob or conveniently frozen, we’ve got you covered. However, fresh corn reigns supreme, offering unrivaled texture and flavor.
Slice your corn into bite-sized sections, about 1 to 1.5 inches in height. Pro tip: a sharp knife ensures smooth cutting without any mishaps.
Now, let’s fry! Deep-frying is the secret to achieving that Wingstop-worthy crunch. But for a lighter alternative, consider air frying with a light spritz of oil.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan until it reaches a temperature of 325°F to 350°F. Carefully add the corn, frying until it turns golden brown and crispy. Depending on the amount of oil used, flip the corn to ensure even frying. Once done, allow any excess oil to drain before transferring the corn to a spacious bowl.
Drizzle the Cajun Butter blend generously over the fried corn and toss until each kernel is coated in flavorful goodness.
Savor the Flavor
The pièce de résistance? Pairing your Cajun Butter corn with your favorite dipping sauce! While Ranch and Parmesan steal the show for some, feel free to get creative with your choice of accompaniment.
Get ready to tantalize your taste buds with this irresistible treat—perfect for any occasion!
