Grilled Corn on the Cob with Chipotle Butter

Ingredients

• 4 ears corn on the cob
• 1 stick unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons chipotle pepper in adobo sauce
• 1 zest and juice lime
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F).

2. 2

   In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, chipotle pepper, lime zest, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

3. 3

   Husk the corn on the cob, removing all silk and excess leaves. Rinse under cold water and pat dry.

4. 4

   Brush each ear of corn lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.

5. 5

   Place the corn directly on the grill grates and close the lid. Grill for about 10-15 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes until the corn is charred and tender.

6. 6

   Once the corn is done, remove from the grill and let it cool for a minute.

7. 7

   Generously slather the grilled corn with the chipotle butter mixture while it’s still warm.

8. 8

   Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro for added flavor and serve immediately.
