This fried corn is cooked with bacon and chives until golden brown and caramelized. The ultimate easy summer side dish that pairs well with grilled meats, fish and hamburgers. A Southern classic that never goes out of style!

Ingredients
- 6 lices Bacon diced
- 1/3 cup onion finely diced
- 4 cups corn kernels
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons chives sliced
Instructions
- Place the bacon in a large pan. Cook over medium high heat until browned and crisp.
- Remove the bacon from the pan with a slotted spoon and set on a paper towel to drain.
- Drain grease off pan until approximately 1 tablespoon remains.
- Add the onion to the bacon grease. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until translucent.
- Add the corn, sugar, salt and pepper to the pan.
- Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until corn starts to caramelize and brown on the edges.
- Stir the bacon back into the corn. Top with chives and serve.
Notes
- You can use fresh corn, or thawed from frozen corn for this recipe. I don't recommend using canned corn as the texture is softer and it contains added sodium.
- Use kitchen shears to make cutting the bacon go a little faster!
- No chives on hand? You can also use green onions, parsley or fresh thyme.
