How to make creamed corn with crispy chicken thighs
This is not a super traditional version of creamed corn. I wanted to make it as easy as possible so I tested this recipe with fresh and frozen corn. If you can find in-season corn, I would definitely recommend using that. Once you have removed the corn kernels from the cob, scrape the cobs with the back of your knife to release some of the creamy liquid. This not only adds creaminess but a lot of corn flavor too. Otherwise, this is totally delicious with frozen corn and is the version I make most often.
Can I make this ahead?
The entire dish can be prepped a few hours in advance and baked just before serving. Leftovers can be kept in the fridge for a day or two and reheated in a warm pan. You might need to add a splash of stock.
