Time 50m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 jalapeno peppers
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon garlic powder

Provided by Jeff Mauro, host of Sandwich King

Categories     side-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 ears of corn, shucked and cut in half
1 stick (8 tablespoons) salted butter
2 tablespoons honey
2 whole cloves garlic, smashed
1/2 cup crispy fried jalapenos, crushed, such as French's
Chili lime seasoning, such as Tajin, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the grill to 375 degrees F, setting one side of the grill to medium-high heat and the other side to low heat.
  • Place the ears of corn directly on the grill grates on the medium-high side of the grill. Let char 2 to 3 minutes per side, about 10 minutes total.
  • While the corn is grilling, in a 9-by-13-inch disposable aluminum baking pan, add the butter, honey and garlic. Place the pan directly on the grill grates on the low side of the grill. Stir occasionally to incorporate the butter and honey.
  • Once the corn is done grilling and the butter is melted, remove the pan from the grill. Roll each piece in the baking pan, coating each side of the corn. When ready to serve, sprinkle with the crispy jalapenos and chili lime seasoning.

Tips:

  • Choose the Freshest Corn Possible: Look for bright green husks and plump, even kernels.
  • Shuck the Corn Just Before Cooking: This will help prevent the kernels from drying out.
  • Grill the Corn on High Heat: This will help to create a slightly charred flavor and keep the kernels from becoming mushy.
  • Rotate the Corn Frequently: This will help to ensure that the corn cooks evenly.
  • Baste the Corn with Butter: This will help to keep the corn moist and flavorful.
  • Season the Corn with Salt and Pepper: This will help to bring out the natural flavor of the corn.
  • Serve the Corn Immediately: Corn is best enjoyed fresh off the grill.

Conclusion:

Jalapeno grilled sweet corn is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for summer cookouts.
