Ingredients
- vegetable oil for brushing
- 1 teaspoon ground chipotle chile pepper
- ½ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
- 8 ears of corn husks on
- ¼ cup mayo
- ½ cup feta cheese crumbled
- fresh chives thinly sliced
- 1 lime cut into 8 wedges
Instructions
- Prepare a charcoal grill or heat a gas grill to high. Brush grill grate with oil. Combine chipotle chile pepper and ground cayenne pepper in a small bowl.
- Grill corn, husks still intact, turning occasionally with tongs, until cooked through and lightly charred, about 10 minutes. Remove from the grill and carefully peel back the husks and tie at the end to use to hold the corn while eating.
- Immediately brush each ear with 1½ teaspoon of the mayo. Sprinkle each with 1 tablespoon feta cheese and a pinch of chile pepper mixture and chopped chives. Squeeze 1 lime wedge over each ear and serve.

Notes
- Pro tip - when you're grilling whole corn on the corn, rather than peel off the outer layers (aka silks) peel them down to the bottom and then tie them in a knot together so you have a handle when you're eating!
- And while this isn't related to this recipe... did you know that you can eat corn RAW!! It's delish. So next time you see that in a recipe, don't think it's weird!
