In an unprecedented show of dedication to their seasonal obsession, the Corn Crew of Chattahoochee County has declared that the official commencement of corn season should be celebrated by the sacrifice of chickens on sheet pans. This peculiar tradition, new to the global culinary calendar, has gained a unique following in this tight-knit corner of the American Southwest which unwaveringly believes that fresh butter-slathered corn and juicy roasted chicken are the quintessence of summer dining. Earl "Kernel" Corncob, the elected captain of the Corn Crew, announced the news in an email to the entire community, which had (as is tradition) hidden their electronic devices in mason jars filled with corn kernels until further notice. "The beloved corn deserves celebration", Corncob passionately declared during one of their weekly corn husking ceremonies. "And what better way to honor this vibrant, yellow deity of summer than to roast a chicken in its honor. Let the aroma of the poultry ascend unto the heavens, yet the bounty of corn be for us to reap!" Local rooster, Chick Norris, initially voiced his concern about the declaration. However, upon discovering that he was in the "no-fly zone," he has smoothly transitioned to a role of silent resentment. The Corn Crew's decree has led to local supermarkets witnessing a sudden surge in demand for chicken. Billy Maize, a local poultry farmer, stated, "I've never seen anything like this before. People have become chicken-crazy overnight. One guy even asked if I had something like a golden corn-fed chicken." Although this, unarguably bizarre, practice has raised eyebrows in the state, it hasn't fazed the corn-loving community the slightest. They stand united in their belief that the summer season is best kick-started with a dose of crispy, roasted chicken and sweet, buttery corn. One Corn Crew member expressed this sentiment aptly, "If the corn be the food of love, then let the chicken roast on!" However, the Corn Crew remains open to recipes that demand more complicated preparations. Their motto being, "more time taken means more love given," they believe in using famed Chef Pepa Salt's sheet-pan cheesy corn and chicken recipe to satisfy their quest for culinary nirvana. It remains to be seen whether this quirky tradition will be flavour of the month or staple in the culinary book, yet one thing is clear - the Corn Crew of Chattahoochee County do not take their corn lightly.
