Used half of the cayenne.
Everyone loved it - even the kids who are "spice-timid". Super easy to make and a fun BBQ recipe. Even works in the oven, so it's a perfect year round recipe... if you can get the corn.
Okay, 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!
I had to put 3 times more spices and it don't taste cajun to me... disapointing
Abit spicy for young children, but quite a wonderful dish!
I love this recipe with the spice content. I have made it twice now but have altered the cayanne pepper content down from the suggestion. I have had it with and without the chicken. As a tip I used a brush to spread the spices on the corn to get an even coverage and perhaps a faster application on the corn
Very tastey.
Incredibly, couldn't find any corn at my local IGA - just went with chicken drumsticks. Found that too much of the spice did not stick to the drumsticks - left most in the bowl. In the end, the taste was so-so.
