Ingredients

  • 4 ears fresh corn, husked
  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated lime zest
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon minced chipotle pepper in adobo sauce plus 1/4 teaspoon adobo sauce (see Ingredient Note) or 1/4 teaspoon ground chipotle pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Cooking Instructions

Preheat grill to high. Wrap each ear in foil. Place on the grill and cook, turning frequently, for 10 minutes. Remove from the grill and let stand in the foil while preparing the butter. Combine butter, lime zest, lime juice, chipotle and adobo sauce (or ground chipotle) and salt in a small bowl. Carefully unwrap the corn. Serve with the butter.

Ingredient Note: Chipotle chiles in adobo sauce are smoked jalapenos packed in a flavorful sauce. Look for the small cans with the Mexican foods in large supermarkets. Once opened, they'll keep up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator or 6 months in the freezer.

better yet butter

If you take a tall jar and fill it with hot water, float the melted butter on the top. Then take the corn ear and plunge it into the water and the butter will coat the corn and it saves on the amount of butter that gets used. Works like a charm and very little of the butter or butter sauce has to be used.

how to do it right...

OJUS1 is right... first peel the huck back halfway and remove the silk, second soak in a pail of cold water for 2-3 hours, place on grill (400degrees) in husk for about 20 minutes (use tongs and filp them about halfway, let set for 5 minutes after removing them from the grill, shuck and remove husk serve with garlic butter (4oz stick melted in a pan with 1 heaping tablespoon minced garlic) brush on corn with a plain old 1" paint brush (new of course...LOL...)... kids will love it and nothing beats corn rosted in the husk...

delighful

the compound butter is a delight and incredibly easy to do. while the canned chipoltles can be salty, they're still very convenient and the adobo sauce they're packed in does add a lot of flavor.

Missing instructions?

My pet peeve is when a recipe calls for something and it is not fully explained. For instance, I would love to make this recipe, but it calls for chipotle pepper in adobo sauce-----where's the instructions for the adobo sauce? One should not assume that everyone knows what this is or how to make it or where to buy it. I am not familar with that, and I am sure there are many who also would not know about this. Please be more specific in your recipes.
