Ingredients
1/4 cup butter, melted
6-8 ears of corn, shucked and cleaned
1 tablespoon fresh chives, minced
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons fresh parsley, minced
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
1/4 cup water
Directions
Place the shucked and cleaned corn ears into a slow cooker. Add 1/4 cup of water. Cover the slow cooker and cook on high heat for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, until the corn kernels are tender and cooked through.
Carefully remove the cooked corn from the slow cooker using tongs and drain any remaining water. Transfer the corn to a serving platter or large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced chives, lemon juice, and minced parsley, stirring until well mixed.
Drizzle the herb butter mixture over the warm corn and gently toss each ear to coat evenly with the seasoning.
Sprinkle salt and black pepper over the corn to taste. Serve warm and enjoy.
Comments
This is a smart move for feeding eight people without heating up the kitchen—the slow cooker does the work while you attend to the rest of dinner. All ingredients are stocked year-round at every Charlotte chain, though peak corn season (July–September) will deliver better flavor and lower prices than winter. The 160 minutes stated time is honest, but budget another 5 minutes to shuck the corn and mince the chives and parsley; cost per serving runs roughly $0.35–0.50, driven entirely by corn prices, which swing hard with season. The only caveat is that reheated corn loses its tender snap, so plan to serve this same night, and skip it if your crowd won't be ready to eat within an hour of the finish time.
