Ingredients
- 1 x Cob of corn, cut in half crosswise then in quarters lengthwise ('corn ribs")
- 1 tbsp Avocado oil or other neutral flavoured oil with a high smoke point
- 1 tsp Garlic powder, divided
- Pinch of Mexican chili powder, plus more for garnish
- 1 x 350g package Chipotle & Maple Syrup Chicken Breast Skewers
- 1/4 cup Sour cream
- 1/4 cup Mayonnaise
- 1/2 Lime, juice and zest
- Pinch of sale, plus more for seasoning the corn
- Dash of hot sauce (optional)
- 1/4 cup Queso fresco or feta
- Chopped cilantro, for garnish
- Steamed rice, to serve
- Lime wedges, to serve
Directions
- Preheat air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Toss the corn ribs with avocado oil, 1/2 tsp garlic powder and a pinch each of salt and chili powder. Lightly spray chicken skewers with a cooking oil spray.
- Transfer corn to the air fryer and bake in a single layer. Set timer for 12 minutes. After 6 minutes, flip the corn and add the chicken skewers. Cook for another 6 minutes then flip chicken and corn again. Continue cooking until chicken has cooked to a temperature of 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) and corn is crispy around the edges and curls into a "rib" shape.
- While chicken and corn are cooking, make the lime crema. In a small mixing bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, lime juice, remaining garlic powder, lime zest, a pinch of salt and a dash of hot sauce (if using). Whisk until smooth.
- To serve, divide corn ribs and chicken skewers onto 2 plates along with a scoop of steamed rice. Drizzle with lime crema sauce and garnish with queso fresco, cilantro, a pinch more chili powder and lime wedges.
