Ingredients

  • 8 ears fresh corn, husks on

CHIPOTLE BUTTER

  • ½ cup butter
  • 1½ tablespoon pureed chipotle chiles in adobo sauce (2-4 chiles with sauce)
  • 2 teaspoon lime juice
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • SERVING - lime wedges

Instructions

  • Pull back husks leaving them attached to the cob and remove the silks. Pull husks back up the cobs to cover completely.

PREPARE CORN

  • Soak in a sink or pan of cold water for 30 minutes.

MAKE CHIPOTLE BUTTER

  • In small saucepan melt butter, chipotle chiles, lime juice and salt. Cook for 1 minute to blend flavours. Set aside.

GRILLING

  • Preheat barbecue to medium high.
  • Remove corn cobs from water, shake off excess and place on rack above main grill (or use bricks to create a higher rack).
  • Cook corn with lid closed for 30 minutes.
  • Remove corn and peel back husks. Remove husks completely or tie back with string.
  • Brush corn with chipotle butter and place directly on barbecue. Grill until blackened in spots, turning frequently, about 6 minutes.
  • Serve hot with additional butter and lime wedges.
