GRILLED CORN ON THE COB
Steps:
- Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over high heat (about 450˚ to 500˚).
- For the grilled corn: Pull off all of the layers of the green husk, except for the two layers closest to the kernels. Pull those two layers back without detaching them. Remove all of the thin threads of silk from around the kernels of the corn. Fold the reserved pieces of husk back over the corn kernels, leaving a couple of gaps of open space.
- Place the corn on the grill over direct heat, cover and cook for 5 minutes. Rotate each ear with a ¼ turn, cover and continue to cook 5 more minutes. Repeat 1 to 2 more times to cook all sides of the corn, 15 to 20 minutes total. Corn will become bright yellow and caramelized in spots when cooked through. Remove from the heat.
- For the garlic-chive butter: In a small bowl, combine the butter, garlic, chives, paprika, and black pepper. Mash and stir with a fork to combine.
- Remove the charred husks from the corn. Spread all over with garlic-chive butter, sprinkle with salt, and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Heat the grill to medium.

- 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 fresh, high-quality corn on the cob. Look for ears with tightly packed kernels and bright green husks. Avoid any ears with brown or yellow kernels or husks that are dry or torn.
- Brine the corn before grilling. This helps to tenderize the kernels and infuse them with flavor. You can use a simple brine made with water, salt, and sugar, or you can add other ingredients like herbs, spices, or citrus fruits.
- Preheat your grill to high heat. This will help to create those beautiful grill marks and prevent the corn from sticking.
- Brush the corn with oil or butter before grilling. This will help to keep the corn from drying out.
- Grill the corn for 10-15 minutes, turning it every few minutes. The corn is done when the kernels are tender and slightly charred.
- Serve the corn immediately with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include butter, salt, pepper, Parmesan cheese, and chili powder.
