6 tablespoons butter, softened
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon lime zest
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
1/2 teaspoon jalapeno, minced (or to taste)
salt
6 ears corn, in the husks

Steps:

  • Shape the butter into any form you like, cover and place in the refrigerator until shortly before ready to serve, at which time allow butter to soften.
  • Heat grill to medium-high.
  • Place corn (in husk) on the grill, rotating the corn so you cook on all sides, for approximately 15 minutes total.
  • Remove from grill and cool slightly (so you are able to peel the husk) and peel. Place corn back on grill over the same flame for about 4 minutes, once again rotating the corn for even grill marks.
  • Serve the corn immediately with the chili lime butter.
  • Cooking option: Place the corn (in the husk) on a plate and microwave for 5 minutes (21/2 minutes per side); when ready to grill, remove the husks and grill over a medium-high flame for about 2 minutes per side.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh corn on the cob: Look for ears with bright green husks and tightly packed kernels.
  • Remove the husks and silks: Peel back the husks and remove the silks from the corn cobs. Rinse the cobs under cold water to remove any remaining silks.
  • Cook the corn on the cob: There are several ways to cook corn on the cob, including boiling, grilling, or roasting. Boiling is the most common method and takes about 10 minutes. You can also grill corn on the cob over medium heat for about 10 minutes per side. To roast corn on the cob, preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and roast the cobs for about 20 minutes.
  • Make the chili-lime butter: Combine softened butter, chili powder, lime zest, and lime juice in a small bowl. Mix until well combined.
  • Brush the corn on the cob with the chili-lime butter: Brush the cooked corn on the cob with the chili-lime butter. You can also sprinkle the corn with additional chili powder, lime zest, or lime juice, if desired.
