How to Make B B Q D Corn With Chilli Lime Butter

  1. Preheat your grill to medium heat.
  2. Place the shucked corn cobs directly on the grill grates.
  3. Cook, turning occasionally, for 10-15 minutes, or until the kernels are tender and slightly charred.
  4. While the corn is grilling, prepare the chili lime butter: In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter, cilantro, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  5. Once the corn is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it cool slightly.
  6. Spread a generous amount of the chili lime butter over each cob of corn.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy! Consider offering extra chili lime butter on the side for those who want an extra kick.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
