"Once you've tried this recipe, you'll never go back to plain corn on the cob," writes Trisha Kruse. Prep and Cook Time: 20 minutes.

Yield: Makes 8 servings

Ingredients

  • 2  canned chipotle chiles in adobo sauce
  • 1/2  cup  butter, melted
  • 1/3  cup  mild-flavored honey, such as clover
  • 1  garlic clove, minced
  • 1/2  teaspoon  salt
  • 8  ears fresh corn in husks

Preparation

1. Heat a charcoal or gas grill to medium-hot (you can hold your hand 1 to 2 in. above cooking grate only 3 to 4 seconds). Combine chiles, butter, honey, garlic, and salt in a blender and whirl until smooth.

2. Put unhusked corn on grill and cook, turning occasionally, 15 minutes. Husks will blacken. Transfer to a work surface, remove husks, brush ears generously with butter mixture, and return ears to grill. Grill until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Serve warm, with remaining butter.

5 stars

this is a great recipe. the sauce is perfectly sweet and spicy at the same time. its great for entertaining or just for the family. we added more adobo sauce from the can of peppers. you will probably need more melted butter. however, this is great!05/23/09

I love this recipe! The best thing to do is make extra butter and refrigerate it and then use it whenever you want corn on the cob; or even sautee some frozen corn in a pan when it's fall/ winter and get that same great taste.09/24/08
