Ingredients
- 4 ears corn, in husk
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 1 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine butter, lime zest and juice, chili powder, garlic and salt and pepper and set aside.
- Carefully peel back husk from the ear, without detaching from the bottom, remove silk from corn, fold the husk back around the ears and soak in water for 30 to 45 minutes. Make sure to weigh down the ears so that they are fully submerged.
- Preheat a grill to medium, indirect heat. Remove ears from water, drain, open husk, dry ears with paper towel and spread butter mixture evenly on corn. Fold husk back over corn and grill, turning often, for 35 minutes (change heat to medium-high for the last ten minutes of grilling). Serve immediately.

Reviews
Very good, but I am wondering if it would be just as good and less trouble if it the dressing was smeared on corn after it is cooked?
Super simple! I also grilled it without the husks. I buttered up the corn wrapped in foil and tossed it on the grill. This time I’ll butter after I take it off the grill. :~D
Awesome flavor! Grilled the corn without the husks and turned out great
Perfect!!
i made it and everyone loved it cant ask for anything better
this recipe is great for everybody even picky eaters, but we added some tequila, and cayenne to it. boy was it good!!!!!!
This is my husbands favorite. Like others have stated he likes it a little spicier then the original recipe (easy to adjust, but for my daughter its the perfect amount of spice.
This was a nice change from plain corn! I husked the corn, put on the chili lime butter mixture before cooking, wrapped each ear in parchment paper, then microwaved until crisp tender. We served it with the chili lime butter that was leftover…this was quick, easy and delicious!
I did this in the oven, wrapped in foil instead of on the grill and it was fabulous! My two boys, who don’t normally eat corn on the cob, loved it as well. Great recipe, Guy.
We just made this for the 4th of July and everybody loved it! I thought it could use a kick though so I’ll be adding some cayenne next time. This one’s a winner!
