Kenny Rogers Roasters® Corn Muffins
He knows when to hold em, and he knows when to fold em. Andlately he's been folding em quite a bit as Kenny Rogers Roasters
restaurants across the country have bolted their doors for lack
of interest. Looks like that whole "home meal replacement"
think hasn't worked out too well for this fire-roasted chicken
chain. But that doesn't mean that Kenny didn't know how to make
awesome corn muffins that are served with every meal. And since
it's becoming harder and harder to find a Kenny Rogers Roasters
outlet, we have no choice but to duplicate these at home if we
want to re-create this part of the Kenny experience.
