Wingstop Cajun Fried Corn Recipe
This Wingstop Cajun Fried Corn is packed with flavor and is the perfect side to any meal. In this blog post, I will be sharing with you a step-by-step guide on how to make this delicious dish in the comfort of your own home.
Ingredients
- 4 ears of fresh corn shucked and kernels removed
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning or a blend of paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 egg beaten
- 1/2 cup milk
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- To make the batter, whisk together the flour, baking powder, Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg and milk together until well combined. Then, pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture and stir until you have a smooth batter.
- Once your batter is ready, it's time to coat the corn kernels. Add the corn kernels to the bowl of batter and stir until they're fully coated.
- In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat enough vegetable oil to cover the corn kernels over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, use a slotted spoon or tongs to carefully drop the coated corn kernels into the oil.
- Fry the corn kernels for 2-3 minutes or until they're golden brown and crispy. Be sure to stir the corn occasionally to ensure that all sides are evenly cooked.
- Once the corn is fried, use a slotted spoon or tongs to transfer it to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve the Cajun fried corn hot as a side dish or appetizer.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add some finely chopped green onions or jalapenos to the batter.
- Make sure to use fresh corn for the best results.
- To make the process easier, you can use a corn stripper to remove the kernels from the cob.
- Be careful not to overcrowd the skillet or deep fryer when frying the corn. This can cause the temperature of the oil to drop and result in soggy, unevenly cooked corn.
- If you're using a skillet, make sure to keep an eye on the oil temperature to prevent it from overheating or burning.
