Terry Chandler taught me to make this recipe of season 1 of my cooking show “Southern Fried Skinnyfied.” He brought his chuckwagon out to the ranch and we cooked over the open coals. It’s one of the best corn dishes I’ve ever had. It’s packed with flavor and is just heavenly. Don’t blame me if you can’t stop eating it!!
If you have canned corn and want to cook this on your stove, drain the corn, dry it as much as possible and cook the corn in a skillet over medium high heat. Stir it just enough to keep it from sticking. You want a few charred spots but don’t want it to burn.
