Cajun Chicken and Corn
Chicken drumsticks and ears of fresh corn, lightly coated with a spice mixture, then grilled.
This recipe is an American « Deep South » classic.
Ingredients
| 8 | chicken drumsticks | 900 g | |
| 3 | ears of corn | 900 g | |
| 3 tbsp | butter, unsalted | 40 g | |
| 1 clove | garlic, minced | ||
| 2 1/2 tsp | ground pepper | 8 g | |
| 1/2 tbsp | ground cumin | 4 g | |
| 1/2 tbsp | paprika | 5 g | |
| 1 tsp | cayenne pepper | 3 g | |
| 1/2 tbsp | salt | 7 g |
Method
- Trim any excess fat from the chicken, but leave the skin intact. Make 2 diagonal cuts in the thickest parts of the drumsticks to allow the flavours to penetrate the meat as much as possible.
- Pull the husks and silk off the ears of corn, then rinse them and pat them dry with paper towels. Using a heavy knife, cut the ears into thick chunks, about 4 cm each.
- Put the butter in a microwave safe bowl and melt it a few seconds in a microwave oven. Put the chicken and corn pieces in the bowl and coat them well with the melted butter.
- Mince the garlic then add it to a small bowl. Add the spices and salt, mix well, then sprinkle the mixture over the chicken and corn pieces. Toss well to coat evenly.
- Cook the drumsticks on a medium-hot grill for about 15 min, turning them once. Add the corn and continue to grill the drumsticks and corn for an additional 10 min, turning them occasionally until they are golden-brown. Alternatively, broil the chicken and corn in the oven.
- Serve.

2012-05-28T23:12:45+00:00 may 28, 2012 | I would make this recipe againOkay, I admit I chickened out on the cayenne quantity and put maybe half in. I didn't use as much pepper as I could have, either, as it would have taken more time than I have patience to grind that much. I didn't put in as much salt as called for, I just can't bring myself to put that much in. That said, I thought this was really good, and even the most hot-stuff-shy member of the family said it was good. I might put more cayenne and black pepper in next time, or I might not. What really surprised me was that the corn didn't get dried out like I was afraid it would - that was a plus! Overall, this is a very easy, tasty meal that you can vary to suit your taste buds without making it bland. Thumbs up!
