How to Make Aw Shucks Grilled Corn
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Carefully remove the corn from the grill. The husks may appear dark or black, but this protects the corn inside.
- Peel back the husks, one at a time, until most of the corn is exposed. Remove any remaining silk.
- Using a pastry brush, generously coat each ear of corn with the spiced mayonnaise-butter mixture.
- Serve immediately, optionally tying the husks together to create a handle.
