Ingredients
- 8 ears corn
- 1/2 cup Grade B maple syrup
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 chipotle chiles in adobo, pureed
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped to a paste
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Canola oil
Instructions
- Peel away the outer husks on the corn without actually removing them. Remove the inner silky threads, then wrap the outer husk back around the ear. Soak the ears in water for 1 hour.
- In a small saucepan, combine the maple syrup, butter, chiles and garlic and season with salt and pepper. Allow to simmer over medium heat for about 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and keep warm.
- Preheat a grill for medium heat. Grill the corn, turning occasionally, until the kernels are slightly charred, about 20 minutes. Brush with the maple butter.

Reviews
Two things. First, I never grill corn in the husks. I find it gives it an unpleasant “grassy” taste. Second, does anyone know what you’re supposed to do with the canola oil in the ingredients list? Aside from that, this is outstandingly good. Had it with his Texas style brisket.
Very good, just a slight kick to it. I doubled the recipe as others had said they couldnt get enough. I also added a small amount of molasses. Might try it brushed on steak or pork,
This recipe was unbelievable! It was ridiculously good. I am going to be making this again. We couldn’t get enough of the corn. That butter really added a flavor to the corn that made it impeccable. The only problem is, we couldn’t get enough. It was the perfect combo of spicy and sweet. Not overwhelmingly spicy so if you’re not up on the spice, the rest of the ingredients really balances it out. A must try!
I have tried other corn toppings such as parmesan and chili, lime butter, etc. This, however, is exceptionally good. I did sprinkle on a bit of salt, too.
I tried this molasses instead of maple syrup and it was very tasty.
This was an excellent way to make corn but the real rave is that maple chipotle sauce. I am so glad I took the time to find the chipotles in adobe sauce; I had to go to 2 stores but so worth it. Not just for corn, the sauce was even better on the steaks we made. I may use it on everything! Thanks!
really good sweet and spicy
