COPYCAT CHILI'S ROASTED STREET CORN RECIPE BY TASTY
The secret to Chili's roasted street corn is the charred exterior. Without a grill, Katie improvised and roasted the corn in the oven to achieve similar results, then slathered the cob with creamy, spicy mayo and topped it with Cotija cheese and cilantro. If you don't have Cotija, you can substitute grated Parmesan cheese.

Steps:
- Preheat BBQ to medium-high. Husk corn. Soak in water at least 5 minutes before grilling.
- Stir lime juice with chili powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. (We would suggest adding tequilla) Set aside.
- Place cobs on grill, using tongs to turn every 2 minutes until charred, about 10 min total. After each turn, brush the length of the cob with juice mixture. Transer to a platter. Serve when cool enough to handle.
Tips:
- Choose the right corn. Look for ears that are fresh, plump, and have tightly packed kernels. Avoid ears that have any brown or black spots, or that feel dry or lightweight.
- Prepare the corn properly. Before cooking, remove the husks and silks from the corn. You can also trim the ends of the corn, if desired.
- Use a flavorful rub. The rub in this recipe is made with a combination of chili powder, lime zest, cumin, coriander, and garlic powder. You can also use other herbs and spices that you like, such as oregano, paprika, or chipotle powder.
- Cook the corn over medium-high heat. This will help to create a nice char on the outside of the corn, while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
- Serve the corn immediately. Corn on the cob is best enjoyed hot off the grill. You can serve it with a variety of toppings, such as butter, salt, pepper, or sour cream.
Conclusion:
Chili lime rubbed corn on the cob is a delicious and easy side dish that is perfect for summer cookouts. The rub gives the corn a flavorful and slightly spicy kick, while the lime zest adds a refreshing citrus flavor. This recipe is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
