Chili Lime Grilled Corn on the Cob Recipe

Grilled corn on the cob gets a spicy and tangy twist with a chili powder-infused butter brushed over each ear and a fresh squeeze of lime. The corn is grilled over high heat to develop light char marks, enhancing its natural sweetness and adding smoky flavor. A sprinkle of chopped cilantro adds a fresh, herbal note that complements the zesty chili lime topping.

Ingredients

  • 4 cobs corn husk removed
  • 1 teaspoon neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt sea salt
  • 1 lime
  • cilantro to serve, chopped

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat your BBQ to high heat. Coat the corn in the oil, place it on the grill, and cook it for 10 minutes, turning it every few minutes so that it cooks on all sides.
  2. Melt the butter in a small frying pan then stir in the chili powder and sea salt.
  3. When the corn has finished cooking, remove it from the grill and brush the chili butter evenly over each piece. If you don't have a brush you can spoon the butter over the corn.
  4. Squeeze the lime over the corn, sprinkle with cilantro, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • To keep the husks intact when grilling, carefully pull them back, remove silks, then tie husks back using one husk strip as a rope.
  • When grilling husked corn, keep most of the husk out of the flame to prevent burning.
