Steps:
- Place the butter in a small bowl, add the chili powder, lime peel, lime juice, jalapeƱo and salt and mix well.
- Shape the butter into any form you like, cover and place in the refrigerator until shortly before ready to serve, at which time allow butter to soften.
- Heat grill to medium-high.
- Place corn (in husk) on the grill, rotating the corn so you cook on all sides, for approximately 15 minutes total.
- Remove from grill and cool slightly (so you are able to peel the husk) and peel. Place corn back on grill over the same flame for about 4 minutes, once again rotating the corn for even grill marks.
- Serve the corn immediately with the chili lime butter.
- Cooking option: Place the corn (in the husk) on a plate and microwave for 5 minutes (21/2 minutes per side); when ready to grill, remove the husks and grill over a medium-high flame for about 2 minutes per side.
CHILI LIME CORN ON THE COB
Steps:
- In a small bowl, combine butter, lime zest and juice, chili powder, garlic and salt and pepper and set aside.
- Carefully peel back husk from the ear, without detaching from the bottom, remove silk from corn, fold the husk back around the ears and soak in water for 30 to 45 minutes. Make sure to weigh down the ears so that they are fully submerged.
- Preheat a grill to medium, indirect heat. Remove ears from water, drain, open husk, dry ears with paper towel and spread butter mixture evenly on corn. Fold husk back over corn and grill, turning often, for 35 minutes (change heat to medium-high for the last ten minutes of grilling). Serve immediately.
GRILLED CORN WITH CHILE BUTTER
In South Africa, charred ears of corn (called braai mielies) are year-round, smoky-sweet roadside snacks. This version is a side dish for the American summer, when corn and grilling are both in season. The cobs are slicked with butter and sparked with chile heat; in South Africa, they would be served alongside a pile of charcoal-grilled lamb chops or steak or giant prawns, or all of the above. For a more rustic effect (and more effort), use the corn husks as a wrapper instead of aluminum foil. Soak the unshucked cobs in cold water for at least 15 minutes. Peel back the husks but do not detach them from the cobs; remove all the cornsilk. After rubbing on the butter, rearrange the husks around each cob and tie in place with twine.

Steps:
- Prepare a grill for high-heat cooking. For each corn cob, tear a piece of aluminum foil large enough to wrap it completely.
- In a bowl, combine the butter, chile, garlic (if using), salt and pepper. Mix well and taste. Adjust the seasonings; add drops of hot sauce if the butter is not spicy enough. Set aside.
- Shuck the corn. Use your hands to rub butter mixture thoroughly onto each cob, reserving about 1/4 of the mixture for basting. Wrap each buttered cob in aluminum foil.
- When ready to cook, place cobs on the grill (or, if the fire is low, in the coals) and cook 12 to 15 minutes, turning occasionally, until steamed and cooked through.
- Unwrap and place on the grill. Use remaining butter to baste the corn as it grills, turning it until lightly charred and cooked through. Serve immediately with lime wedges, if using.
CORN COOKED IN HUSKS ON THE GRILL WITH CHILE-LIME BUTTER

Steps:
- Pull the husks back from the corn and remove the silks.
- Pull the husks back into place around the corn.
- Soak the ears in warm water for at least 30 minutes.
- For the Chilie-Lime Butter:.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the butter, chilie powder, lime juice, salt and pepper.
- Preheat the grill.
- Remove the corn from the water and pat dry.
- Gently peel the husks back from the corn and brush the corn with the butter.
- Pull the husks back around the corn and tie with a piece of husk or kitchen string to keep the husks around the corn.
- When the grill is hot, place the cobs on the rack and cook until the kernels are tender and lightly browned, about 20 minutes, turning occasionally.
- The outer husks will burn, but the inner layers will protect the corn.
- Remove the husks and serve immediately.
- Pass additional chilie-lime butter.
Tips:
- Choose fresh corn on the cob: Look for ears with tightly packed kernels and green husks. Avoid ears with dry or brown husks, as these may be old or damaged.
- Soak the corn in water: Soaking the corn in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling helps to prevent the husks from burning. It also helps to steam the corn, resulting in more tender and flavorful kernels.
- Use a hot grill: A hot grill is essential for getting a good sear on the corn. Aim for a grill temperature of at least 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Grill the corn for 15-20 minutes: The exact grilling time will depend on the size of the corn and the heat of your grill. Grill the corn for 15-20 minutes, or until the husks are charred and the kernels are tender.
- Make the chile-lime butter: While the corn is grilling, make the chile-lime butter. This flavorful butter is made with melted butter, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and chili powder. It's the perfect complement to grilled corn.
- Serve the corn immediately: Grilled corn on the cob is best served immediately. Slather each ear with chile-lime butter and sprinkle with additional cilantro and lime wedges.
Conclusion:
Grilled corn on the cob is a delicious and easy summer side dish. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a flavorful and healthy dish that the whole family will love. So next time you're grilling, be sure to give this recipe a try!
