KFC Corn On The Cob Recipe
Corn on the cob has been a staple of American cuisine for centuries, beloved for its sweet flavor and versatility. While it's enjoyed in various forms across the country, KFC has made it famous as a simple, yet delicious side dish.
Equipment
- Large pot
- Tongs or slotted spoon
- Serving dish
- Butter knife
Ingredients
- 4 ears of corn, husked and cleaned
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper (optional, for a bit of spice)
- Water (enough to cover the corn in a pot)
Instructions
- Start by husking the corn and removing all the silk threads. Rinse the ears of corn under cold water to ensure they're clean and ready to cook.
- Fill a large pot with water, making sure there's enough to cover the corn completely. Add the granulated sugar and salt to the water. The sugar helps enhance the natural sweetness of the corn, while the salt brings out its flavor. Bring the water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
- Once the water is boiling, carefully place the ears of corn into the pot. Reduce the heat to medium and cover the pot. Allow the corn to cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until the kernels are tender. Use tongs or a slotted spoon to check the corn's doneness.
- While the corn is cooking, melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan or microwave. Once the corn is done, remove it from the pot using tongs and place it on a serving dish. Immediately brush each ear of corn generously with the melted butter. Sprinkle with a bit of salt and pepper if desired.
- Serve the corn hot, as a perfect side dish to your favorite meals. Whether you're enjoying it with fried chicken, grilled meats, or as part of a barbecue spread, this KFC copycat corn on the cob is sure to satisfy your cravings.
