Ingredients
- 4 ears Fresh corn on the cob
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Chipotle chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 whole Lime, cut into wedges
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400–450°F/200–230°C).
Step 2
Husk the corn and remove all the silk threads. Rinse and pat the corn dry.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, honey, chipotle chili powder, smoked paprika, and salt to create the glaze.
Step 4
Brush each ear of corn generously with the honey-chipotle glaze, reserving some for basting later.
Step 5
Place the corn directly on the preheated grill grates. Close the lid and cook for 12–15 minutes, turning every 2–3 minutes to ensure even charring and caramelization.
Step 6
During the last few minutes of grilling, brush the corn with the remaining glaze for extra flavor.
Step 7
Remove the corn from the grill and let it cool slightly. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the corn and sprinkle with chopped cilantro, if using.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy your sweet, smoky, and slightly spicy Honey Chipotle Grilled Corn!
