Start by cutting a corn in half then quarter each half, you'll have 8 pieces of corn ribs for each corn.
Pick out a few corn kernel rows at one end (3-5 rows) to make space so you can hold on to corn ribs after the cooking process.
Fill a large pan with 2 cups of vegetable oil and heat on medium-high heat.
When the oil is hot enough (at least 350F), add corn ribs, and fry a few sticks at a time. Don't overcrowd the pan.
You know the corn is done when it starts to curl toward the 'rib' direction. Approximately 2 minutes for each corn rib.
Make the sauce
Start by melting the butter over medium heat.
Add minced garlic and sauté for 2 minutes. Stir constantly to prevent them from burning or scorching.
Add 1 tsp of chopped parsley and spice mixture. Turn off the heat and remove the pan from the stove immediately.
Serve:
Brush garlic butter sauce or use a spoon to pour the sauce all over corn ribs. Garnish with the other 1tsp of chopped parsley. Sprinkle more Old Bay seasoning if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
Eating these deep-fried corn ribs as soon as you brush/put the garlic butter mixture on them is important. Or the corn will soak up all the amazing sauce and become soggy.
