Notes
To Bake the Skewers: Arrange the skewers to one side of the baking sheet. On the opposite side of the baking sheet, toss the corn with 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, and pepper. Bake for at 450 for 12 minutes. Switch the oven to broil. Broil 2-3 minutes, until lightly charred. Alternatively, you can grill both the chicken and the corn (and leave it on the cob).
