    Frying frozen corn in a skillet is my favorite way of preparing this veggie. It adds a lot of flavor to this plain vegetable with the onions and garlic sauteed in butter.

    FAQ

    Do you need to thaw corn before cooking?

    No. You can add the frozen corn right of the freezer to this recipe. Just be careful adding the frozen vegetable to hot butter that you don't get splashed with the sizzling.

    Can I use canned corn to make fried skillet corn?

    I would not use canned corn for this recipe. It can get mushy and over cooked easily. It is best to use frozen corn when you're making fried corn.
