GRILLED CORN ON THE COB WITH CHIPOTLE BUTTER

Categories     Vegetable     Side     Fourth of July     Quick & Easy     Lime     Hot Pepper     Summer     Grill/Barbecue     Bon Appétit     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added     Kosher

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
1 1/2 tablespoons minced seeded canned chipotle chilies*
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
8 large ears of corn, husked
Lime wedges

Steps:

  • Melt butter in small saucepan over medium heat. Add minced chipotles, fresh lime juice, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Reduce heat to low and cook chipotle butter 1 minute to blend flavors.
  • Place ears of corn on baking sheet. Brush corn all over with chipotle butter. (Can be prepared 4 hours ahead. Cover corn and refrigerate.)
  • Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Grill corn until cooked through and blackened in spots, turning frequently, about 6 minutes. Serve corn with lime wedges.
  • Chipotle chilies canned in a spicy tomato sauce, sometimes called adobo, are available at Latin American markets, specialty foods stores, and some supermarkets.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh corn on the cob: Look for ears with tightly packed kernels and bright green husks.
  • Remove the husks and silks: Peel back the husks and remove the silks. Leave about an inch of husk at the top of the corn to protect the kernels.
  • Soak the corn in water: Soaking the corn in water for 30 minutes before grilling helps to prevent the kernels from drying out.
  • Grill the corn over medium-high heat: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the corn on the grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning every few minutes.
  • Brush the corn with melted butter: Once the corn is cooked, brush it with melted butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Serve the corn immediately: Grilled corn on the cob is best served hot off the grill.

Conclusion:

Grilled corn on the cob is a classic summer side dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its smoky flavor and sweet, juicy kernels, it's the perfect addition to any backyard barbecue or picnic.
