Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ears Fresh corn on the cob
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Chipotle chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 whole Lime, cut into wedges
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400–450°F/200–230°C).
Husk the corn and remove all the silk threads. Rinse and pat the corn dry.
In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, honey, chipotle chili powder, smoked paprika, and salt to create the glaze.
Brush each ear of corn generously with the honey-chipotle glaze, reserving some for basting later.
Place the corn directly on the preheated grill grates. Close the lid and cook for 12–15 minutes, turning every 2–3 minutes to ensure even charring and caramelization.
During the last few minutes of grilling, brush the corn with the remaining glaze for extra flavor.
Remove the corn from the grill and let it cool slightly. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the corn and sprinkle with chopped cilantro, if using.
Serve immediately and enjoy your sweet, smoky, and slightly spicy Honey Chipotle Grilled Corn!
