Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this tasty Wing Stop corn at home:

How to Make Wing Stop Corn

Just 3 simple steps are all that's standing between you and this delicious side.

Step One: Fry the Corn

Cut each ear of corn into 4 pieces.

Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the corn pieces and fry for 4-5 minutes, turning every minute until all sides are golden.

Transfer the fried corn to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step Two: Prepare the Seasoning

While the corn is frying, melt the butter in a small bowl. Mix in the Cajun seasoning, paprika, and onion powder, whisking until well combined.

Step Three: Toss and Serve

Place the fried corn in a large bowl and pour the seasoned butter over the top. Toss the corn to coat each piece evenly. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy!

Expert Tips for Making Wing Stop Corn

1. Use Fresh Corn: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh corn on the cob. If fresh corn isn’t available, you can use frozen corn cobs, but make sure to thaw them completely before frying.
2. Even Frying: When frying the corn, turn the pieces every minute to ensure even browning on all sides. This will give you that perfect golden, crispy exterior.
3. Seasoning Variations: While the recipe calls for Cajun seasoning, feel free to experiment with other spice blends to suit your taste. A little garlic powder or chili powder can add an extra kick.
4. Melt the Butter Gently: Melt the butter on low heat to prevent it from burning. This will keep the seasoning mixture smooth and easy to coat the corn evenly.
5. Serve Immediately: For the best experience, serve the corn immediately after tossing it in the butter and seasoning. This ensures the corn stays crisp and the flavors are at their peak.
