  5. Drizzle generously with the butter mixture, ensuring each cob is well coated.
  6. Wrap the corn loosely in the foil, sealing the edges to create a packet.

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.
