# Instructions:
01 -
In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter with chopped parsley, minced garlic, cajun seasoning, salt, black pepper, onion powder, dried basil, paprika, and lemon juice if using. Stir until everything is well incorporated and set aside.
02 -
Take each ear of corn and carefully cut it into roughly 4 sections, with each piece measuring about 1 to 1.5 inches thick.
03 -
Pour vegetable oil into a deep frying pan or pot, enough for deep frying, and heat to 350°F. If you don't have a thermometer, test by dropping a small piece of bread in - it should bubble and turn golden in about 60 seconds.
04 -
Carefully add the corn pieces to the hot oil in batches (don't overcrowd the pan). Fry until they develop a beautiful golden color on one side, then flip and continue frying until all sides are evenly golden and crispy.
05 -
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried corn and place on paper towels to drain any excess oil.
06 -
Transfer the hot fried corn pieces to a large bowl and pour the prepared seasoned butter mixture over them. Gently toss until all pieces are generously coated.
07 -
Arrange the corn on a serving platter and serve while still warm. For the full Wingstop experience, offer ranch dressing and grated parmesan cheese on the side for dipping or sprinkling!

02 -
Be mindful that different brands of Cajun seasoning have varying salt levels. Start with less salt and adjust to taste after tossing with the butter mixture.

For best results, serve immediately while the corn is still hot and the butter coating is fresh.
