It's a hit!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I've made this recipe and everytime I do I get rave reviews. Just to add a time saving tip. When I can't grill the corn I get... a couple of bags of frozen sweet corn. It helps balance the heat from the chili. I have some family members and friends who can't tolerate spicy like I can but when I make at home I bring on the heat. If you can't find ancho chili powder if you go to the latin section of your store. There's a candy called Lucas powder, that's a good substitute. But don't get the one called baby Lucas because it's sweet. IRead more

Unbelievable!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

If I could put out a bulletin on this site I would. You have to try this receipe. It takes a little work, but it id worth... every minute of your time. The flavors are unbelieveable. Mr. Flay you did it again. I could not find the ancho chili powder, but I had some fresh serrano chile and chopped it up and added a little to the receipte with some fire roasted green chiles from Santa Fe. With or without the heat it is great. I served this with Bobby Flay's Buterflied Cuban Pork and green beans. I can see using this receipe with other main courses - soft shell crabs, Maryland crab cakes, chicken - you name it. Thanks agin Bobby. You're the man of the grill! John Rice Annapolis, MDRead more

A great way to do corn on the grill.
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Excellent recipe - easy to make, love using the skillet on the charcoal grill. The spices made it very tasty, but not too... hot.Read more

Delicious! You've got to try this!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is delicious! I didn't use the ancho chili powder, but I did use a little bit of chipotle powder, but I only used about... 1/4 teaspoon in the half recipe that I made. I'm sure the additional heat would be great for big heat lovers, but I knew we wouldn't like it that hot. The dish is delicious! It's sweet, spicy, tangy, delicious. I did add a couple of chopped fresh tomatoes to it just because I needed to use them up. This one is definitely a keeper. I roasted the corn in the husks in the oven for about 35 minutes at 450 degrees instead of doing it outside. Worked great!Read more
