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.

Equipment

  • 1 outdoor grill

Ingredients 

  • 2 large ears fresh corn, husk and silks removed
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil

Herbal Jalapeño-Lime-Cheddar Slathering Butter:

  • 2 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, Softened – I use organic (without "natural flavorings")

  • 1 teaspoon fresh chives, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme, minced
  • 1/8 teaspoon lime rind, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice

Herbal Jalapeño-Lime-Cheddar Slathering Butter:

  • Add softened butter to a small bowl. Add all remaining ingredients. Use a whisk to lighten and combine and gently whip until creamy and light.

Grill the Corn:

  • Heat your grill to 375 degrees. (Make sure your gates are clean.)
  • Add corn to a small tray. Brush all over with 1 1/2 t. EVOO; sprinkle lightly with sea salt. Add corn to grill and cook until charred in spots about 15 minutes – turning every few minutes.
  • Remove corn to the tray, then cut each ear into 4 even pieces with a sharp knife. Slather each piece with the butter, as it will melt in and serve immediately.
    Yields 8 pieces; 2 per serving. Double recipe if you like more corn!
