Corn Cobette

What is it?

Corn on the cob, cut into a short cobette and served on a stick, is the format here. KFC cooks it until tender, then brushes it with butter, so you get sweet kernels with a soft, glossy surface and a bit of salt from the finish. It’s one of the few sides in the KFC Australia lineup that isn’t fried or breaded. Because it’s portioned for hand-held eating, there’s no need for cutlery. The cobette sits in the same menu space as chips and mashed potato, but it’s the only side built from a whole vegetable rather than a starch or batter.
