Best Grilled Corn With Chili Lime Butter Recipes

ROASTED CORN WITH CHILI LIME BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the corn in its husks directly on the oven rack and roast until the corn is soft when you press on it, 30 to 40 minutes.
• While the corn is roasting, combine the butter with the chili powder and lime zest.
• Peel down the husks and tie in a knot to use as a handle while eating. Rub the corn with soft butter mixture, and garnish with a lime wedge. (This roasting method produces the sweetest corn I have ever tasted.)

• Peel back the corn husks, leaving on to use as handles while eating. Rub the chili-lime butter all over the corn. Garnish with the cotija cheese.

GRILLED CORN WITH CHILI LIME BUTTER

Steps:

• Place the butter in a small bowl, add the chili powder, lime peel, lime juice, jalapeño and salt and mix well.
• Shape the butter into any form you like, cover and place in the refrigerator until shortly before ready to serve, at which time allow butter to soften.
• Heat grill to medium-high.
• Place corn (in husk) on the grill, rotating the corn so you cook on all sides, for approximately 15 minutes total.
• Remove from grill and cool slightly (so you are able to peel the husk) and peel. Place corn back on grill over the same flame for about 4 minutes, once again rotating the corn for even grill marks.
• Serve the corn immediately with the chili lime butter.
• Cooking option: Place the corn (in the husk) on a plate and microwave for 5 minutes (21/2 minutes per side); when ready to grill, remove the husks and grill over a medium-high flame for about 2 minutes per side.
