Spiced Grilled Corn
Grilled corn is a staple at BBQ potlucks and summer cookouts. This roasted corn recipe makes a delicious side to go with any grilled foods!
Ingredients
- 6 ears corn shucked and cleaned
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Place corn in a large pot, add sugar and fill with water. Allow to soak for at least 1 hour, up to 4 hours.
- Preheat grill to high 15 minutes before you are ready to use it. In a small bowl, melt butter (microwave for 15-30 seconds). Add salt and cayenne pepper. Set aside.
- Remove corn from water and place on a tray. Using a basting brush paint butter mixture on corn.
- Place corn on grill, arrange so they are not touching.
- Allow to grill for 3-5 minutes and then check for grill marks. Once corn is golden brown turn and place uncooked rows of kernels on grill. Using a grill basting brush, carefully apply a light coating of butter to the top of the corn. (BE CAREFUL: Applying too much butter can cause flair ups!!!) Repeat this until the corn is completely grilled.
- Remove from grill and serve.
Notes
Corn reheats well in microwave.
To reheat: cover with a paper towel or plate and microwave in 30 second increments until corn is warm to the touch.
