Steps:
- Heat the grill to medium.

- Remove corn from water and shake off excess. Place the corn on the grill, close the cover and grill for 15 to 20 minutes, turning every 5 minutes, or until kernels are tender when pierced with a paring knife. Remove the husks and eat on the cob or remove the kernels. Serve with the BBQ Butter and/or Herb Butter. Spread over the corn while hot.
- Heat the oil in a medium saute pan over high heat until almost smoking. Add the onion and cook until soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the paprika, cayenne, cumin and ancho powder and cook for 1 minute. Add 1/2 cup of water and cook until the mixture becomes thickened and the water reduces. Let cool slightly.

Tips:
- When selecting corn on the cob, choose ears that have tightly packed kernels and fresh, green husks. Avoid ears with dry or brown husks, as this indicates the corn is old.
- Before grilling, soak the corn in cold water for at least 30 minutes. This will help prevent the kernels from drying out.
- To prevent the corn from burning, grill it over medium heat. You can also place a foil packet under the corn to help protect it from the heat.
- Brush the corn with the chipotle molasses and orange glaze every few minutes while grilling. This will help the glaze caramelize and give the corn a delicious flavor.
- Serve the corn hot off the grill, topped with additional glaze, cotija cheese, and cilantro.
