Ingredients for Barbecued Corn With Roasted Garlic Butter Bbq

  • 4 ears of corn
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • 1 head of roasted garlic (about 1/4 cup)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Worcestershire Sauce

How to Make Barbecued Corn With Roasted Garlic Butter Bbq

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 4 ears of corn and simmer for 15 minutes, or until tender.
  2. Remove corn from pot and drain well. Brush each cob with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
  3. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Place corn directly on the grill and cook for 10 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes, until kernels are slightly charred and kernels are tender.
  4. While corn grills, prepare the garlic butter: Combine 1 head of roasted garlic (about 1/4 cup), 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a microwave-safe bowl.
  5. Microwave on high for 12-15 seconds, or until butter is melted and ingredients are combined.
  6. Transfer mixture to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth and creamy.
  7. Spoon generous amounts of roasted garlic butter over the grilled corn.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
