6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter
2 medium garlic cloves , minced or pressed through a garlic press (about 2 teaspoons)
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

Steps:

  • STEP BY STEP: Taking the Temperature of the Fire If you can hold your hand five inches above the grate for 2 seconds, it is a hot fire; 3 to 4 seconds, a medium-hot fire; 5 to 6 seconds, a medium fire; and 7 seconds, a medium-low fire. STEP BY STEP: Preparing Corn for Grilling 1. Remove all but the innermost layer of the husk. The kernels should be covered by, but visible through, the innermost layer. 2. Use scissors to snip off the tassel, or long silk ends, at the tip of the ear. STEP BY STEP: Judging When Grilled Corn is Done As soon as the husk picks up the dark silhouette of the kernels and begins to pull away from the tip of the ear, the corn is ready to come off the grill.
