Ingredients

• 8 whole ears of corn
• 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon fresh chives (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
• 1 teaspoon lime zest
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon fresh basil (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 2

Peel back the husks of each ear of corn, leaving them attached at the base. Remove the silk threads and wrap the husks back over the corn. Soak the corn in water for 10 minutes to prevent burning.

Step 3

While the corn is soaking, prepare the flavored butters by dividing the softened butter into 4 equal parts (2 tablespoons each).

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of butter with minced garlic, parsley, chives, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to create Garlic Herb Butter.

Step 5

In another small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of butter with red chili flakes, lime zest, and lime juice to create Spicy Chili Lime Butter.

Step 6

In a third bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of butter with honey and ground cinnamon to create Honey Cinnamon Butter.

Step 7

Finally, in a separate bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of butter with grated Parmesan cheese and basil to create Parmesan Basil Butter.

Step 8

Pat the soaked corn dry and brush each ear lightly with olive oil. Pull the husks back and tie them with kitchen twine if desired.

Step 9

Place the corn on the preheated grill, rotating occasionally, until the kernels are tender and slightly charred, about 10-12 minutes.

Step 10

Remove the corn from the grill and serve immediately with the four types of seasoned butter on the side. Let your guests choose their favorite flavor!
