Cooking Steps
Adjust racks to middle and top positions (top, middle, and bottom positions for 8 servings) and preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Generously coat a standard 12-cup muffin tin (two muffin tins for 8) with nonstick cooking spray. Wash and dry produce.
Drain corn, then pat dry with paper towels. Trim green beans if necessary. Halve, peel, and thinly slice shallot. Pick parsley leaves from stems; roughly chop leaves.
In a large bowl, whisk together sour cream, ⅓ cup water, and 1½ TBSP sugar (⅔ cup water and 3 TBSP sugar for 8 servings) until mostly smooth. Add tempura batter mix, 1 tsp baking powder, and ½ tsp salt (2 tsp baking powder and ¾ tsp salt for 8); stir until mostly smooth. (Be sure to measure the baking powder––we sent more!) Stir in cheddar and half the corn (all the corn for 8) until evenly distributed.
Divide batter equally among wells of prepared muffin tin (about 1½ TBSP batter per well). Set aside.
Pat chicken* dry with paper towels. Season all over with Fry Seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Heat a large drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned, 2-3 minutes per side (it’ll finish cooking in the next step). (Depending on the size of your pan, you may need to work in batches, adding another drizzle of olive oil between batches.) Turn off heat; transfer to a plate. Reserve pan.
Toss green beans on a baking sheet with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Nestle chicken among green beans and roast on top rack until green beans are tender and chicken is cooked through, 25-30 minutes.
Bake corn cakes on middle rack until set and edges are golden (or a toothpick inserted in the center of a cake comes out clean), 25-30 minutes. (For 8 servings, bake on middle and bottom racks, switching rack positions halfway through.)
Let cool 5 minutes before removing from tin. TIP: Run a butter knife or spatula around the edges for easier release.
Once corn cakes have baked for 15 minutes, return pan used for chicken to medium heat. Add shallot and cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to soften, 2-3 minutes. TIP: If pan seems dry, add a drizzle of oil.
Add ½ tsp sugar (1 tsp for 8 servings) and stir to coat. Add vinegar and cook, stirring, until mostly reduced, 30-60 seconds.
Stir in stock concentrate, crème fraîche, and ⅓ cup water (⅔ cup for 8) until smooth. Cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in mustard and half the parsley. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
Divide chicken, green beans, and corn cakes between plates. Top chicken with as much sauce as you like. Garnish with remaining parsley and serve.
