This deep-fried corn is a simple, easy, and different way to fix corn on the cob. We enjoyed this at a fish fry that we recently attended.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings

  • 12 ears fresh corn, husks and silks removed

  • vegetable oil for frying

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, or to taste

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Place 6 ears of corn into the hot oil and fry until they start to turn brown on the ends, turning at least once during cooking time, about 5 minutes total. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining ears. Serve immediately with butter, salt, and pepper.

Cook's Notes:

You may serve with margarine instead of butter.

Cut large ears of corn in half; small ears don't need to be cut. Cooking times may vary depending on how hot your oil is and how large the ears of corn are.

Editor's Note:

We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. Amount will vary depending on cooking time and temperature, ingredient density, and specific type of oil used.
