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.
- Place the butter in a food processor, add the spice mixture and Worcestershire sauce and process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, scrape the mixture into a small bowl, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Bring to room temperature before serving.
- Combine in a food processor and process until smooth.

Steps:
- Prepare grill for cooking over medium-hot charcoal (moderate heat for gas).
- Grill corn (in husks) on lightly oiled grill rack, turning, covered, until kernels are tender, 20 to 30 minutes. Remove corn from grill and let stand until cool enough to handle but still warm, about 10 minutes.
- Discard husks and stem ends from corn. Cut kernels off cobs with a large knife and toss with herbs and lime butter sauce.
Tips:
- Choose fresh corn on the cob: Look for ears with tightly packed kernels and bright green husks. Avoid ears with brown or yellow husks, as these are signs of old corn.
- Soak the corn in cold water for at least 30 minutes before grilling: This will help to prevent the corn from drying out.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat: This will help to create those beautiful grill marks.
- Brush the corn with melted butter or olive oil: This will help to keep the corn moist and flavorful.
- Season the corn with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs: Some popular herbs to use include rosemary, thyme, and basil.
- Grill the corn for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally: The corn is done when the kernels are tender and slightly charred.
- Serve the corn immediately with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings include butter, sour cream, cheese, and salsa.
