Ingredients

4 ears corn, in husk
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 teaspoon lime zest
1 tablespoons lime juice
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

Directions

In a small bowl, combine butter, lime zest and juice, chili powder, garlic and salt and pepper and set aside.

Carefully peel back husk from the ear, without detaching from the bottom, remove silk from corn, fold the husk back around the ears and soak in water for 30 to 45 minutes. Make sure to weigh down the ears so that they are fully submerged.

Preheat a grill to medium, indirect heat. Remove ears from water, drain, open husk, dry ears with paper towel and spread butter mixture evenly on corn. Fold husk back over corn and grill, turning often, for 35 minutes (change heat to medium-high for the last ten minutes of grilling). Serve immediately.

Delightful side dish
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is a hit with my entire family. My vegetarian niece loved it and plans to add it to her list of foods to prepare. I... made two modifications. I used minced garlic instead of powder and I husked the cobs first, wrapped in foil and baked in the oven at 350 for about 35 - 45 minutes. Read more

What's the sauce for?
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I have not tried this recipe; but just reading it lets me know that something isn't right. Perhaps if he would elaborate... about the chili/lime sauce and tell us how he uses it - maybe that would make a difference. The recipe states how to combine butter, lime zest and juice, chili powder, garlic and salt and pepper and SET ASIDE and other than that, no mention of it. Recipe seems incomplete.Read more

missing something
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I love GUY and love his food...but this is definately missing something.....sorry.... The chilli powder is really grainy... and the corn doesn't get any grill marks since you soak it. It is just not what it could be.Read more

Absolutely Fabulous!

This corn is so easy, sweet and flavorful! I had leftover Chili Lime Butter and served it the next day over grilled salmon.

D-E-Licious!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I made this corn last night and it was awesome! However, I think the next time I make this, I'm going to add a smidge of... cayenne pepper. The recipe was tasty, but it was missing that zing. Simple and delicious, just a little time consuming.Read more

Help me-No Grill
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I know doing this w/out a grill makes it different. But would using this "dressing" on a boiled ear be good too?
