Fried Corn & Chicken with Green Chili Mayonnaise
….I used to make fried corn as a snack, and today I added some chicken it in to change it as a side dish. It’s very easy, quick dish and delicious, and you can’t stop eating it. My niece who was remembering memories when I was in college told me I made some fried corn for her as a snack. Even after all these years, she still remembers it sometimes for the taste….I remembered the excitement of me and my niece when the fried corn was done and how happy we were. Sometimes I used to eat half of it and put the other half in a bag for my mother to share it. All these memories came back to me. It was usually sweeter and had a corny flavor. I like fresh corn which I can buy all seasons recently. Also I received as a gift these corns from a farmers market today. I researched an upgraded recipe and tried it today. This recipe is from @adamliaw.
