Ingredients
- 4 4 cobs corn husk removed
- 1 1 teaspoon cooking oil
- 1 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 1 teaspoon chili powder
- ⅛ ⅛ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 1 lime
- chopped cilantro to serve
Instructions
- 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.
- Melt the butter in a small frying pan then stir in the chili powder and sea salt.
- 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.
- Squeeze the lime over the corn, sprinkle with cilantro, and serve immediately.

Notes
- If you'd like to leave the husks on, like in the photos, carefully pull the husks back from the corn cobs, remove the silks, then tie back the husks using one piece of the husk as a rope. When you're cooking the corn, keep most of the husk out of the BBQ.
- refully pull the husks back from the corn cobs, remove the silks, then tie back the husks using one piece of the husk as a rope. When you're cooking the corn, keep most of the husk out of the BBQ.
