COPYCAT CHILI'S ROASTED STREET CORN RECIPE BY TASTY
The secret to Chili's roasted street corn is the charred exterior. Without a grill, Katie improvised and roasted the corn in the oven to achieve similar results, then slathered the cob with creamy, spicy mayo and topped it with Cotija cheese and cilantro. If you don't have Cotija, you can substitute grated Parmesan cheese.

Tips:
- Choose fresh corn on the cob: Look for ears with bright green husks and plump kernels. Avoid ears with brown or yellow husks, as these are a sign of old corn.
- Soak the corn before grilling: Soaking the corn in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling helps to prevent the kernels from drying out.
- Use a hot grill: The hotter the grill, the better the corn will be. Aim for a grill temperature of at least 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Grill the corn for 10-15 minutes: Grill the corn for 10-15 minutes, turning it every few minutes, until the kernels are tender and slightly charred.
- Brush the corn with chili lime butter: While the corn is grilling, make the chili lime butter by combining softened butter, chili powder, lime juice, and cilantro. Brush the corn with the chili lime butter once it is cooked.
Conclusion:
Chili lime grilled corn on the cob is a delicious and easy summer side dish. It is perfect for cookouts, barbecues, and potlucks. The corn is grilled to perfection and then brushed with a flavorful chili lime butter. The result is a dish that is both sweet and savory, with a hint of spice. If you are looking for a new way to enjoy corn on the cob, this recipe is definitely worth trying.
