welcome friends welcome back to the
kitchen today i'm going to start
an occasional series where
i test out those viral recipes that
happen over on
the tik tok and today we're going to do
something that has been called corn ribs
and it's really taken off and it looks
like kind of a cool recipe it looks like
it could work
it looks like it could be good problem
is it's february
in canada not a lot of fresh corn on the
cob so i'm kind of making do
with something that's um probably been
hanging around for a little while
so we're going to start off by making
the spice mix
so in this big bowl i'm going to put
some salt
some lemon pepper some regular pepper
some paprika
garlic salt and
chili powder and to that i'm going to
drizzle
in olive oil
okay and i'll just give this a bit of a
whisk
just to bring it all together now the
idea is that i'm supposed to
cut up this corn into quarters
and then toss it in this sauce
good sturdy knife
and this is where the
recipe starts to fall apart
because i know this knife is sharp it
might be a little
too thick a little too heavy so let's
try one that's a little bit
thinner and see this is this is where
the technique comes in
because cutting through the core of of a
corn cob
is a little bit tough okay so maybe that
a
thinner sharp sturdy knife is better
and one more time
keep your fingers safe and into
the bowl okay your knife is key i'm on
knife number three and this
is this is a one of those knives that
was sent to me
um super inexpensive el cheapo
kind of knife um
doesn't keep an edge very well it's one
of those knives that you sharpen but you
have to sharpen it over and over and
over to keep it sharp
but when you get it sharp it is very
sharp for a small moment in time
but it's a super fine thin blade
and it seems to work better than
those two blades which are a little bit
on the thick side
so this one slices through a little bit
better these are the things that get
left out
on internet recipes the little tricks
the actual hack that makes the hack work
so
almost got the cobs
cut there we go
anyway so now we toss these you want to
coat
the corn cobs with the oil and the
spices
so a really big bowl and of course you
know
it's going to go everywhere so be
careful
now the idea is you're supposed to put
this into an air fryer
i don't own an air fryer of all the
things that i own in the kitchen
and airfryer isn't one of them but i do
have this amazing
dual fan convection oven with a dual fan
roasting function
which should work amazing for this i'm
just going to arrange these
onto the cookie sheet and sew
into the oven they go
hey jules hi glenn hi friends
that's kind of quirky i've never seen
corn this way
no or cooked this way chicken ribs oh
sorry corn ribs
i don't know why i said chicken ribs
corn ribs um from the tick tocks
and i do i just eat it i guess you just
you eat it like a rib you're supposed to
eat like a rib
so very ungracefully shove it in my
mouth and try and uh on it okay so
what do you think it's interesting
because the corn has been in there a
while and i will have said that i was a
little concerned
with whatever you were making with corn
that was going to be
old corn which i'm not that fond of old
corn like once it's been in the once
it's been off the thing
off like off the corn for three three
days max i think
we both come from families where you
grew corn don't pick the corn
until the pot of water is boiling mm-hmm
then once the pot of water is boiling
then you go and you pick the corn
but this is a pretty good uh this is
actually you don't notice that it's a
little chewy but other than that the
flavor is pretty good
well is that supposed to be sauce for
top like is that
is there bacon in that one oh that's
really good um
diced up chipotle peppers okay that
would be an adobo sauce with um
in a mayo okay
i was skeptical i thought oh i'm going
to do this and it's going to be horrible
and i'm going to
we're going to say oh this what a
terrible thing that's a surprising
really good
really good for you know yeah that's fun
are you supposed to do it in airfryer i
did it in a convection oven
at 425 with both fans on the on the bake
cycle
worked perfectly you could do this on a
charcoal grill
you could do this on a gas grill
um you don't use what you got yeah you
don't you don't need
to have an air fryer you could probably
just do it in a regular oven um
i'm down with this it's pretty fun
thanks tiktok

later
you
