Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Corn on the cob (frozen or fresh)
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 4 cups Water
Instructions
1. If using fresh corn, remove the husks and silk. If using frozen corn, no need to thaw beforehand.
2. In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
3. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of sugar to the boiling water. Stir to dissolve.
4. Carefully place the corn cobs into the boiling water, ensuring they are fully submerged. Reduce heat to medium and let the corn boil for about 8-10 minutes for fresh corn or 10-12 minutes for frozen corn, or until tender.
5. While the corn is boiling, melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a microwave-safe dish or small saucepan over low heat.
6. Once the corn is cooked to your desired tenderness, remove the cobs from the water using tongs and set them aside on a plate.
7. Generously brush or drizzle the melted butter over the hot corn. Add additional salt to taste, if desired.
8. Serve immediately and enjoy your KFC-style buttery corn!
