Grilled Corn with Spicy Honey Butter

Sweet summer corn gets a smoky finish on the grill, then a generous coating of honey butter seasoned with chili powder. Fresh cilantro and lime balance the sweetness for an easy cookout side dish.

Makes: 8 servings

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1/3 cup Weeks Honey Farm Georgia Wildflower Honey
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 8 ears fresh corn, husks attached
• 8 lime wedges
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

How to Make Grilled Corn with Honey Butter

1. Make the spicy honey butter. Stir the softened butter, honey, and chili powder together in a small bowl until evenly combined. Set aside.
2. Prepare the corn. Pull back the husks without detaching them. Remove the silk, then fold the husks back over the kernels.
3. Soak. Place the corn in a large bowl of ice water for 15 minutes. Remove and shake off excess water.
4. Grill. Place the corn on a grill over medium-high heat. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, turning frequently, until the kernels are tender and lightly charred in spots.
5. Season. Carefully peel the hot husks back to expose the corn. Spread each ear with spicy honey butter.
6. Serve. Sprinkle with cilantro and serve with lime wedges. The pulled-back husks can be used as handles once cool enough to hold.

Tips and Variations

• Wear heat-resistant gloves or use tongs when pulling back the hot husks.
• For more heat, add cayenne or chipotle powder to taste.
• Make the honey butter ahead and refrigerate it, then soften before serving.
• Offer extra lime wedges to brighten the sweet, smoky flavor.
