Smoked Corn on the Cob + Video

Smoked corn on the cob has amazing flavor, unlike any other corn you've eaten before! Put away the Instant Pot and make this smoker recipe!

There are so many easy smoker recipes that you can try. I am always surprised at how versatile a smoker is to use.

If you haven't already tried my other smoker recipes, be sure to try my Smoked Baked Beans. These tender baked beans with bacon are the perfect side dish!

And, you've got to try my Smoked Chicken Quarters recipe if you haven't made it yet. They are juicy and tender on the inside with crispy skin on the outside.

What You'll Need for Smoked Corn on the Cob

Of course, you will need your smoker and your favorite flavor of wood chips to make this recipe. You will also need a large pot of water to soak the corn in. This prevents the corn from drying out.

What type of wood chips are best for smoking corn?

Any flavor of wood chips will work well with this recipe. But, applewood smoke is a nice pairing with chicken.

Other options include peach, cherry, hickory, mesquite, and maple.

Remember to try a variety of different types because when you smoke foods, they take on the flavor of the wood chips you use.

Should the husks be removed or left on?

I gently pull back the husks and carefully remove the silk when I'm preparing this recipe. Then, I fold the husks back over the corn to cover them before placing the cobs in the smoker.

You don't have to cover the corn with the husks if you don't want to. Another option is to fold the husks back and tie them with twine to make a handle.

Or, you can remove the husks completely before you put them in the smoker. It will have a beautiful golden color that's infused with the flavor of your wood chips.

Does the corn need to be washed or soaked?

I like to soak the ears for at least an hour and preferably overnight before I place it in the smoker. This helps prevent your kernels from drying out while it's smoking.

You don't need to wash the corn before you prepare it. But, you certainly can if you want to.

How can I store leftovers?

If you have leftovers, you can simply wrap them in foil and place them in the refrigerator. They will stay good for up to five days that way.

Or, if you want to freeze your leftovers so that they last longer, you can do that as well. Wrap them in foil first and label them with a marker.

You can keep them for up to four months this way. When it's time to reheat them, just let them thaw in the refrigerator overnight.

Then, when you want to reheat your corn, unwrap the corn and add a teaspoon of water along with some salt and pepper. Wrap it back up and reheat it at 350F for five to seven minutes.

Tools needed

Serving suggestions

I use simple seasonings of butter, kosher salt and pepper on our corn. But, you can add additional seasonings or even dried herbs to the butter mixture to make it your own!

There are plenty of other seasoning possibilities too. Here a few ideas:

parmesan cheese
dried red pepper flakes
garlic powder
smoked paprika
a dash of white sugar
extra virgin olive oil and freshly squeezed lemon juice

There are many different things that you can serve with smoked corn on the cob. It makes the perfect side dish for your favorite grilled meats and summer salads.

Of course, this smoked corn on the cob also goes well with Sunday dinner. So, you've got to try it when you make these recipes:

Enjoy!

Corn on the Cob in the Oven + Video

Corn on the Cob in the Oven is prepped and ready to bake in just 10 minutes. It is utterly life-altering! You have to try it.

This recipe is so simple you will be making it all year long!

I just love baked corn on the cob in the summertime. Whether I'm at a picnic, barbecue, or family outing, it is one of my favorite summer recipes.

Have you had a chance to check out my perfect stovetop recipe? Trust me, this recipe is a keeper.

Or, you might want to make my Crockpot version. Cook it in your crockpot without heating up your kitchen. It's perfect every time.

If you're looking for something a little bit more decadent, try this Candied Bacon-Wrapped Corn. It starts with tender sweet corn wrapped in crisp, smoky bacon.

Tips for Making Corn on the Cob in the Oven

We also love to add a dash of cayenne pepper when we make baked corn on the cob. The best way to do that is to place 4 tablespoons of butter in a small dish. Add the desired amount of cayenne pepper and mix it together. Smear butter on it and then continue with the recipe.

Make your own compound butter to finish it with. Try different flavor combinations.

Be sure to use unsalted butter. You don't need the extra salt when you add other seasonings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you make this recipe using frozen corn?

Yes, you can make this recipe starting with frozen. Simply follow the recipe below and substitute frozen for fresh.

There's no need to do anything differently when you make the recipe.

You can also wrap each ear in tin foil if you prefer. You will want to roast them in the oven for about 30 minutes in total. There is no need to turn them if you wrap them in foil.

Do you remove the husks before roasting corn in the oven?

In this recipe, I remove the husks. It makes it easier to apply the flavored butter to it.

But, you can carefully turn back the husks, then apply the flavored butter if you want to keep them on. Finally, close up the husk again and bake.

Or, you can skip the flavored butter and simply roast it with the husks on and apply butter, fresh herbs, and seasonings when you take it out of the oven.

What you will need to make this recipe

Baking Sheet-
Aluminum Foil- for easy cleanup

Toppings for corn on the cob in the oven

You can use the flavored butter that I've included in this post. But, there are lots of different types of toppings and seasonings that you can use.

Why not try fresh smoked paprika, your favorite herbs from the garden, or even an orange or lemon compound butter.

Other options include grated parmesan cheese, Old Bay seasoning, or even ranch seasoning.

How long can I store leftovers?

We don't often have leftovers when we make it this way. But, if you do, you can store leftover oven corn on the cob in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will stay good for up to 5 days.

Or, you can put it in the freezer for 6 months. Just make sure that each ear is well wrapped.

To reheat it let it thaw in the refrigerator.

Then you just need to wrap it in tin foil with a little bit of butter inside. Finally, place it in the oven for about 10 minutes at 350F. It comes out perfectly every time.

Smoked Chicken Thighs + Video

Smoked Chicken Thighs are flavorful and juicy inside, with perfectly crispy skin. Use our recipe for cooking chicken thighs on any type of smoker!

Are you enjoying your smoker as much as I am? There are just so many different things that you can make in a smoker.

I'll be sharing a few of my favorites with you to try.

Have you had a chance to try my other smoker recipes?

Smoked baked potato is so delicious! This recipe is a must-make; you'll love the flavor of smoked potatoes!

Or, make some smoked baked beans! These tender beans with bacon are the perfect side dish!

Tips for Making Smoked Chicken Thighs

This recipe is one of the simplest ways to make smoked chicken thighs at home.

And, it uses one of my favorite homemade rubs, containing New Mexico chili powder and smoked paprika.

One of the reasons I use thigh meat is because it is such an inexpensive cut.

If you are feeding a crowd, or you're watching your grocery budget, cooking chicken thighs in the smoker is a great choice.

It's important to prep the meat before smoking it. You will need to trim the excess skin and fat around the edges first.

When preparing the thighs, make sure that you rub the spices into both the top and the bottom of the piece of meat.

Work a little bit underneath the skin if you can as well.

And, always let the meat rest for five minutes before serving.This allows the juices to redistribute as it cools so that your chicken will be moist and juicy.

How long to smoke chicken thighs

The smoking time depends on the size and the type of smoker you're using. It's really best to smoke the thighs based on the internal temperature reading using a meat thermometer.

This recipe calls for a temperature of 275F. At that temperature, you will need to cook them for about one hour and 35 minutes.

This is the time and temperature if you are using bone-in chicken thighs.

If you are cooking boneless chicken thighs, you will need to cook them for slightly less time.

To smoke boneless chicken thighs, preheat your smoker to 225F and cook them for about 55 minutes.

Remember, they are done when your meat thermometer shows an internal temperature of 165°F.

Don't rely on just the time to determine when your meat is cooked.

Tools needed

Frequently asked questions

What is the best type of BBQ sauce to use?

One of the last steps in this recipe is to brush the meat with BBQ sauce. I love the taste of my KC Style Barbecue Sauce, but you can use your own homemade version.

Or, you can use a bottled BBQ sauce if you are pressed for time.

How to prevent dry rub from burning on the chicken

One of the challenges of cooking with a dry rub in the smoker is preventing it from burning.

When you make this recipe, you will brush BBQ sauce onto the chicken during the last 10 minutes of the cooking time. This will help prevent the sauce from burning.

But, it will still allow the delicious rub to flavor the thighs during the smoking process.

Can I make a double batch?

Yes, you can double this recipe. I love making a big batch because there are so many different ways to use it during the week.

You can easily use the leftovers to make BBQ chicken salad, toss it on to homemade pizza, or use it in your favorite pasta recipe.

What should I serve with smoked chicken thighs?

There are many different types of summer side dishes you can serve with the meal, but here are a few of my favorites.

Or, you can always just serve a side garden salad or sliced fresh vegetables from the garden.

Enjoy!

Cauliflower is one of our favorite fall vegetables. There are so many different quick ways to prepare it.

Have you ever made my Potato and Cauliflower Mash? This is a fabulous dish and it tastes and feels (texture) just like mashed potatoes.

I love knowing that I can prepare healthy vegetables in an air fryer. It's such a versatile small appliance.

You can also season with garlic powder, garlic salt, red pepper flakes, etc.

The recipe can be doubled or tripled based on the size of your air fryer. You don’t want to overcrowd the air fryer or the air can not circulate around the cauliflower.

Fried cauliflower calories
This dish is basically just cauliflower, a spritz of olive oil and seasonings. So, there are very few calories in it.

Depending on how you prepare it, each serving will contain between 80 and 110 calories.

Tools needed

How to cut cauliflower florets

By using florets, you are letting the air circulate around the food more easily than if you used larger pieces.

Don't be intimidated by cutting a head of cauliflower; it’s easy to do!

Remove outer leaves. The first step is to remove all of the large leaves to expose the stem.
Cut large pieces from the head. Then, you will cut around the cauliflower stem using a sharp knife.
Break the larger pieces of cauliflower into small florets. Then, use the knife to cut the cauliflower into smaller florets. Remember to remove the larger stem pieces.

Can you make this recipe with frozen cauliflower?
Yes, this recipe works just as well with frozen cauliflower and it will save you having to cut it into florets first.

However, don't allow the frozen vegetables to thaw first. You will have better results making air fried cauliflower with frozen vegetables.

Just place it in the fryer as you would if it wasn't frozen. The final results will be crispy and golden.

Can you cook cauliflower rice in an air fryer?
Yes, you can make air fried cauliflower rice. It's very easy to do and can be used as the base for your favorite fried rice or eaten as is.

All you need to do is to place the riced cauliflower in the air fryer and cook it for about 10 minutes at 370°F. Shake it after 5 minutes to be sure it's equally distributed.

Since riced cauliflower can be bigger or smaller depending on how you rice it, you will need to test it at this point to see if it's done. If it isn't, cook for an extra 2 to 5 minutes.

Remember to shake it and check after each 2-minute interval to check for doneness.

If you want to add other vegetables to your rice, be sure to cook them first since they will likely have a longer cooking time.

What goes well with cauliflower?

Cauliflower is a very versatile side dish and can be served with many different main dishes.

You may want to serve it with my smoked meatloaf. It's crispy on the outside and juicy inside.

Or, this Crock Pot chuck roast is a perfect choice for Sunday dinner. It's tender, juicy, and mouthwatering.

Of course, dipping vegetables always makes them more fun to eat. So, if you are looking for sauces to dip your air fryer cauliflower into, here are a few simple ideas that you can try.

Enjoy!

Bacon Avocado Club Pasta Salad

This easy pasta salad recipe really takes your favorite bacon avocado club and transforms it into this extraordinary fully loaded pasta salad that will knock your socks off!

We are so excited to be partnering with our friends at Jones Dairy Farm to bring you the ultimate pasta salad! Its is amazing picnic food and perfect for everyday, starring one of my favorite ingredients: Dry Aged Cherrywood Smoked Bacon!!!

Jones Dairy Farm bacon is absolutely amazing! They smoke fresh pork bellies with real cherrywood chips which results in a slightly sweeter bacon. you know you are getting great quality and incredible flavor.

How do you make easy pasta salad recipes?

You may have noticed that we love pasta salad. I mean REALLY LOVE pasta salads. We have 30 pasta salad recipes on our site. I really have it down to a science now. Many times I use inspiration, like pizza or a muffaletta sandwich but othertimes I start with this no-fail 6 step pasta salad formula

1st - PASTA. Start by selecting the perfect pasta. We love cheese tortellini in pasta salads. It adds another dimension to the pasta salad. But, medium size pasta with lots of ridges that catch the dressing are also perfect, like rotini, cavatappi and ridged elbows.

2nd - PROTEIN. Choose your protein(s). We have tried many different options in our pasta salads. There are so many options: chicken, shrimp, cold cuts, beef, pork, eggs and so many more ideas.

3rd - VEGGIES. Pick vegetables that compliment your pasta salad. I like to choose vegetables that add a colorful element to the salad as well. For example I use orange bell peppers to make salads more visually appealing.

4th - CHEESE. Whether or not to add cheese is a personal decision, but for my creations "if" I add cheese is never a consideration. It is only what type goes with the salad. I think cheese is a requirement in just about every pasta salad. Although there are a few exceptions.

5th - FLAVOR. Look for the pop of flavor. Add pepperoncinis, jalapenos, roasted red peppers, olives, onions, pickles, hot sauce, citrus, there are so many options. Of course my favorite: BACON. It is really the perfect addition, especially Jones' Dry Aged Cherrywood Smoked Bacon that adds an unexpected flavor boost to your pasta salad.

6th - DRESSING. There are so many options, you can use your favorite coordinating store bought dressing or put your own together.

What goes with pasta salad?

Pasta salad can be the perfect side dish for so many recipes. But when it is made right, it is an all in one meal. Take for example this Avocado Club Pasta Salad that is loaded with bacon, chicken, cheese, avocado, tomatoes and fresh parsley. It is the ultimate satisfying all in one meal!

Do you prefer to enjoy it as a part of a picnic or barbecue? How about adding some oven roasted corn on the cob, fruit salad, and sliders and sandwiches!

How long does pasta salad stay good for?

Pasta salad with mayonnaise will last for 3-5 days in the refrigerator. It is best served the day after it is prepared and should not be left at room temperature more than 2 hours.

Do you rinse pasta for cold pasta salad?

When you are making a cold pasta salad it is important to drain and rinse the pasta in warm water. Rinsing the pasta stops the cooking process and also washes off the stach from the pasta and that results in a creamier pasta salad dressing that will not get gummy.

When you are preparing a hot pasta dish it is not important to rinse the pasta as the starch will help your sauce come together.

I will let you all know that you can pick up Jones Dairy Farm products at your local retailer.

The company’s products are distributed nationwide, so be sure to check out their product locator so see where you can pick some up.

Helpful Tips to make Avocado Club Pasta Salad:

If you are sensitive to spicy food, you can make the ranchito sauce without the hot sauce and it is an amazing herbed buttermilk ranch dressing.
Choose a hot sauce that you enjoy the flavor of.
To halve tomatoes: Grab two lids of the same size. You can use plasticware or lids from your fridge. Place one lid with the lip facing up, so you have an edge that will hold your food. Fill the lid with grape tomatoes. Place the second lid on top of the tomatoes with the lip facing down. Firmly press down on the top lid. The two lips will hold the tomatoes in place, so they do not roll off the lid. Slide your serrated knife between the lids and carefully slice through the tomatoes. Watch your fingers. Now you have halved tomatoes in the blink of an eye!

What you will need to make Avocado Club Pasta Salad:

Salsa Picante Hot Sauce - Hot sauce with a great flavor to it is perfect for this salad.
3-in-1 Avocado Tool - The gadget everyone needs in their kitchen. It cuts, pits and slices your avocados. Safely.
Cutting Board- A big good solid cutting board so you can prep all your veggies on one surface. I use my cutting board daily so it’s worth the investment.
Quality Knives- Quality knives make prep time much quicker and are important for safety as well. If you make one kitchen investment, I believe it should be in quality knives.

Enjoy!

Bacon Avocado Club Pasta Salad

prep time: 15 minscook time: 15 minstotal time: 30 mins

This easy pasta salad recipe really takes your favorite bacon avocado club and transforms it into this amazing fully loaded pasta salad that will knock your socks off!

Ingredients:

(2) 8-ounce packages Dry Aged Cherrywood Smoked Bacon
1 pound uncooked rotini pasta
12 ounces cooked chicken breast, diced
16 ounces grape tomatoes, halved
8 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, diced
2 medium avocados, diced
1 bunch parsley, rough chopped
1 lemon, juiced

Ranchito Dressing

3/4 cup whole milk
2 tablespoon lemon juice (from the above juiced lemon)
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 teaspoon dried chives
1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
1-2 tablespoons hot sauce

Instructions:

Lay slices of bacon on a foil-lined baking pan. Place the pan in your cold oven.
Turn the heat to 400°F and bake for 12 to 20 minutes. The length of time will vary based on the thickness of your bacon (thick-cut takes longer) and the doneness you prefer (I like mine crispy). Chop up the cooked bacon and set aide.
Meanwhile: Pour 2 tablespoons of lemon juice in a 1 cup measuring cup or a small mixing bowl. Pour milk over top. Set aside. The milk will thicken and curdle, making a scrumptious homemade buttermilk for our dressing.
Meanwhile: Combine mayonnaise, sour cream, dried herbs and spices in a 16 ounce or larger canning jar. Whisk until well combined. Add homemade buttermilk and 1 tablespoon hot sauce, seal jar and shake the living tar out of it until well combined. Taste for flavor and heat. Add more hot sauce as desired.
Chill until ready to use. This can be made ahead and let to sit in the fridge until you are ready to make the pasta salad. It keeps for at least a week in the fridge.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta according to directions on the package. Make sure the pasta is cooked through and past the al dente stage. Remember your pasta will firm up when it is chilled.
Drain and rinse pasta in water. Rinsing the pasta stops the cooking process and also washes off the starch from the pasta and that results in a creamier pasta salad dressing that will not get gummy.
Combine pasta and 1/2 of salad dressing in a large serving bowl. Toss to combine.
Add remaining salad ingredients, the remaining dressing, and the lemon juice. Gently fold salad ingredients together. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

DONNA'S NOTES

If you are sensitive to spicy food, you can make the ranchito sauce without the hot sauce and it is an amazing herbed buttermilk ranch dressing.
To halve tomatoes: Grab two lids of the same size. You can use plasticware or lids from your fridge. Place one lid with the lip facing up, so you have an edge that will hold your food. Fill the lid with grape tomatoes. Place the second lid on top of the tomatoes with the lip facing down. Firmly press down on the top lid.
