Air Fryer Wingstop Cajun Corn (Copycat Recipe)
Description
his copycat Air Fryer Wingstop Cajun Corn is crispy, buttery, and loaded with bold Cajun flavor — ready in just 25 minutes with 6 simple ingredients.
Ingredients
- 4 ears fresh corn, husked and cut into 4 pieces each (ribbettes)
- 2 tablespoons oil, canola, avocado, or olive
- 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
- 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3–5 minutes.
- Season the corn: Cut each ear of corn crosswise into 4 ribbettes. In a large bowl, toss the corn pieces with the oil and Cajun seasoning until evenly coated.
- Air fry: Arrange the corn in a single layer in the air fryer basket — do not overcrowd. Cook for 10–15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until tender and slightly charred.
- Butter and serve: Return the hot corn to the bowl, toss with melted butter, season with salt to taste, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm.
Equipment
- Cooking Spray
- Parchment Paper, optional
Notes
- For maximum flavor, use homemade Wingstop fry seasoning in place of standard Cajun seasoning.
- If using frozen corn on the cob, thaw and pat dry first; add 2–3 minutes to cook time.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3–4 days. Reheat at 350°F in the air fryer for 4–5 minutes.
