Grill Season Kick-Off, Day 2: Grilled Corn with Chili Lime Honey Butter

It gets in between your teeth. It spits juice across the table. It gets all over your chin and nose. But, all these qualities are forgivable when you consider how darn delicious grilled corn is! And, the best part about grilled corn is that there are quite possibly hundreds of options for flavoring it. I've included one of my personal grilled corn seasonings--hope you enjoy it.

Grilled Corn with Chili Lime Honey Butter

Ingredients:
6-8 ears of corn
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons honey
3 teaspoons freshly squeezed lime juice
A pinch of freshly ground black pepper
A pinch of salt
A pinch of chili powder

Directions:
1. Preheat grill.
2. Peel away the outer husk without actually removing it, remove the inner silky threads, and then wrap the outer husk back around the ear.
3. Soak the ears in water for 10 minutes, place on the grill and grill for 15 to 20 minutes.
4. While ears are soaking, put butter, honey, lime juice, pepper, salt, and chili powder in a small bowl to melt in microwave or over barbecue.
5. Remove corn from grill and brush with chili lime honey butter. Note: to adjust the heat of the chili powder, either increase or decrease your pinch accordingly.

Best way to BBQ corn in my book is to just throw the corn with silk in place and husk not opened.Turn the corn 1/4 times at 4-5 minutes intervals, remove from grill and shuck. Just make sure to have some good oven mitts to hold corn while peeling. You will also find that the silk just slides right off the corn. Only seasoning required if any is salt and butter. Try it plain first.
