Ingredients

  • 8-10 ears corn husked pulled back and tied with kitchen twine
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • Zest of one lime
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 teaspoon hot smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Prepare the grill to medium heat, about 350 degrees F. Shuck the corn, either pulling off the husks and corn silks completely, or pulling them back to create a handle as seen in the photos. If making a cornhusk handle, tie the husks togherer with kitchen twine, then remove the silks.
  2. Set out a small bowl and combine the rest of the ingredients in the bowl for a spicy mayonnaise marinade. Whisk well.
  3. Brush the corn kernels with the marinade on all sides. Then wrap each corn cob with a piece of foil. The husk handles do not have to be fully wrapped.
  4. Place the corn on the grill and cook for 15-20 minutes, turning every 5 minutes, to grill on all sides.
  5. Remove the foil from the corn and enjoy!

Notes

  • Can I Grill the Corn without Foil? Of course! It will have a tougher texture, but will still taste delicious! Grill at medium heat for 8-10 minutes.
  • Can I Skip the Foil and Make Grilled Corn in the Husks? Yes, if you would rather not use foil, you can brush the corn with the marinade and pull the husks back up around the cobs. This will produce tender corn, like with foil, but you most likely won't have the option of a husk handle, after grilling.
