BEST DARN CORN ON THE COB YOU WILL EVERY HAVE.
We went to a cook out at a friends house. I was on a strict diet so I was really watching what I eat. What did they have but corn on the cob... OMG.... my favorite with a half of stick of butter..They had no spray butter like I had been using, so I said to myself I will eat it without butter... when I unwrapped this corn and pulled backed the husk and the silks came right off I was thankful but when I took that first bit without butter I was in LOVE... Try this I will promise you, you will love it.

Steps:
- Heat the grill to medium.
- Pull the outer husks down the ear to the base. Strip away the silk from each ear of corn by hand. Fold husks back into place, and place the ears of corn in a large bowl of cold water with 1 tablespoon of salt for 10 minutes.
- Remove corn from water and shake off excess. Place the corn on the grill, close the cover and grill for 15 to 20 minutes, turning every 5 minutes, or until kernels are tender when pierced with a paring knife. Remove the husks and eat on the cob or remove the kernels. Serve with the BBQ Butter and/or Herb Butter. Spread over the corn while hot.
- Heat the oil in a medium saute pan over high heat until almost smoking. Add the onion and cook until soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the paprika, cayenne, cumin and ancho powder and cook for 1 minute. Add 1/2 cup of water and cook until the mixture becomes thickened and the water reduces. Let cool slightly.
- Place the butter in a food processor, add the spice mixture and Worcestershire sauce and process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, scrape the mixture into a small bowl, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Bring to room temperature before serving.
- Combine in a food processor and process until smooth.
Tips:
- Choose the Right Corn: Select fresh corn with bright green husks and plump kernels. Look for ears with tightly packed kernels and no blemishes.
- Remove the Husks: Peel back the husks, leaving the last layer intact to protect the kernels during grilling.
- Soak the Corn: Soaking the corn in water for at least 30 minutes helps prevent the kernels from drying out during grilling.
- Season Generously: Use a flavorful combination of seasonings, such as butter, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
- Grill Over Medium Heat: Grill the corn over medium heat to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.
- Rotate Regularly: Rotate the corn every few minutes to ensure even grilling and prevent sticking.
- Check for Doneness: The corn is done when the kernels are tender and slightly charred, and the cob is heated through.
- Serve Immediately: Grilled corn is best enjoyed immediately after grilling, while it's hot and flavorful.
Conclusion:
By following these simple tips and using the provided recipes, you can create delicious grilled corn on the cob that's perfect for any occasion. Experiment with different seasoning combinations and grilling techniques to find your favorite way to enjoy this summer staple.
