Ingredients for Aw Shucks Grilled Corn

How to Make Aw Shucks Grilled Corn

1. Soak corn in the husk in a large bowl of salted water for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to ensure tender, juicy kernels.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup melted butter, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1 clove minced garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until smooth and well combined.
3. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill the corn, shucks still intact, turning frequently, for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until the husks are slightly charred and the kernels are tender.
4. Carefully remove the corn from the grill. The husks may appear dark or black, but this protects the corn inside.
5. Peel back the husks, one at a time, until most of the corn is exposed. Remove any remaining silk.
6. Using a pastry brush, generously coat each ear of corn with the spiced mayonnaise-butter mixture.
7. Serve immediately, optionally tying the husks together to create a handle.
