Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

1 1/4 cups warm Honey-Ginger Barbecue Sauce
16 ears of corn, shucked
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

Prepare Honey-Ginger Barbecue Sauce and divide equally into two bowls.
Prepare grill for direct-heat cooking over medium-hot charcoal (medium-high for gas); see Grilling Procedure. .
Drizzle corn with oil on a large rimmed baking sheet, and sprinkle evenly with salt. Lightly rub oil and salt into corn.
Oil grill rack, then grill corn (covered only if using gas), turning frequently, until lightly browned and tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Move corn to different positions on grill if hot spots are present. Brush corn with some of prepared sauce and grill, turning, until sauce is hot, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve with reserved sauce.

Tips:

Choose the right honey: Use a high-quality honey that has a strong flavor, such as clover honey or buckwheat honey. Avoid using a mild honey, such as acacia honey, as it will not provide enough flavor to the sauce.
Use fresh ginger: Fresh ginger has a much more intense flavor than ground ginger. If you don't have fresh ginger on hand, you can use 1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger, but the flavor will be less pronounced.
Let the sauce simmer: Simmering the sauce for at least 15 minutes allows the flavors to meld and develop. Don't boil the sauce, as this will cause the honey to burn and the sauce to become bitter.
Taste the sauce as you go: Adjust the seasonings to your liking. You may want to add more honey, ginger, or soy sauce, depending on your personal preferences.
Use the sauce on a variety of foods: Honey ginger barbecue sauce is great on chicken, pork, tofu, and vegetables. It can also be used as a dipping sauce or a marinade.
