Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ears Fresh corn on the cob
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 pepper Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 1 teaspoon Adobo sauce
- 1 teaspoon Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel back the husks of the corn without removing them completely and remove the silk threads. Once cleaned, fold the husks back over the corn and soak the ears in a large bowl of cold water for 10 minutes to prevent burning during cooking.
Meanwhile, prepare the chipotle butter by finely chopping the chipotle pepper. In a small bowl, mix the chopped chipotle, adobo sauce, softened butter, lime juice, honey, and salt until well combined.
Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Shake off excess water from the corn and place the ears on the grill. Turn the corn occasionally and cook for about 12-15 minutes, or until the kernels are tender and slightly charred in some spots.
Once the corn is done, carefully remove the husks and discard them (optional for presentation purposes). Brush the hot corn with the prepared chipotle butter, allowing it to melt into the kernels.
Sprinkle the corn with chopped cilantro if desired and serve immediately. Enjoy your smoky, buttery corn on the cob!
