The Best Way to Grill Corn + Two Slathering Butters to Choose From: Herbal Jalapeño-Lime-Cheddar AND Mango-Parsley-Hot Honey
Pro Tips on How to Grill Corn on the BBQ:
- Unhusked:
This recipe uses this method - The husk and silk are removed, corn ears are brushed with EVOO and sprinkled with sea salt – grilled at 375 degrees – turning frequently until charred in spots, but not dry (will stay juicy inside)
- Cooked with Silks Removed In The Husk:
- Imparts smoky flavor and stays very moist
- No darkening of corn, but great flavor
- In its husk keeps the corn kernels pump and juicy, while imparting a gentle smokey essence.

Looks yummy and easy, will make this!
Hey Aimee – thank you for your comment – agree, pretty easy & delish.
😀Karen
Liked this technique. Great recipe I made for a party last weekend. Made the mango hot honey butter ahead of time and it slathered beautifully. Thanks for a stellar recipe. Mara.
Thank you Mara for writing ~ and your wonderful review of this recipe!

Wonderful recipe and quite easy. Made both butters ahead of time, couldn’t decide which on to make, so I made both for company coming over.
What a hit! Reviews were mixed, all loved, half preferred the jalapeño butter, the other half liked the mango one.
Question, what temperature should the butter be before slathering? Mine was room temperature, yet I think colder would be better. I recommend this recipe, Thomas.
Hi Thomas, Thank you for writing and your kind comments!
To answer your question – this depends on temperatures.
YES, the butter can be colder (but not too solid) if being slathered on corn that is very warm – it will melt nicely.
If your corn is closer to room temperature, then room temperature slathering butter is fine.
