When we make this recipe at home, we call the corn “So Gone” because that’s exactly what happens, I.e. it’s so gone before you even know it. It takes just as little time (10 minutes) to cook it as it does to eat it. 

Air Fryer Corn on The Cob Ingredients

I kept the ingredients to just a few. It’s fresh corn plus compound jerk butter which is just dry jerk spice seasoning mixed with softened butter.
