Chili Corn On The Cob Recipes

CHILI LIME GRILLED CORN ON THE COB

Steps:

• Preheat BBQ to medium-high. Husk corn. Soak in water at least 5 minutes before grilling.
• Stir lime juice with chili powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. (We would suggest adding tequilla) Set aside.
• Place cobs on grill, using tongs to turn every 2 minutes until charred, about 10 min total. After each turn, brush the length of the cob with juice mixture. Transer to a platter. Serve when cool enough to handle.

CHILI CORN-ON-THE-COB

Steps:

• Husk corn and remove silk.

CHILI LIME CORN ON THE COB

Steps:

• 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.

CHILI AND CUMIN BUTTERED CORN ON THE COB

Steps:

• Prepare grill.
• Combine butter and next 5 ingredients (through red pepper) in a small bowl; set aside.
• Pull husks back from corn; remove silks from corn.
• Place them on the grill. Brush butter mixture evenly over corn. Grill until nice grill marks appear on the cobs, 10 - 15 minutes.
• Serve with lime wedges.
• Note: Corn on the cob is best husked just before it goes on the grill. Cobs are like bananas -- they loose their freshness once the husk has been pulled back. When buying corn, do not even peek -- just run your fingers down the cobs to make sure that they are uniformed -- check there are no worm holes. Basically, you want to grill the corn enough to get nice grill marks -- anything more will dry out the cobs. Once they are cooked, take them off the grill and let them sit for 5 - 10 minutes, depending on how dense the cobs are. This way, they won't burn the mouth.

PARMESAN/CHILI CORN ON THE COB

Steps:

• Husk the corn.
• Spread with mayonnaise.
• Sprinkle with chili powder and parmesan cheese.
• Wrap in foil.
• Roast on the grill until cooked (depends on your corn and how hot your grill is; mine takes 10-15 minutes usually turning every few minutes).
• When it's roasted, spread with butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• (You can pretty much adapt this entire recipe to your own taste specifications. I don't measure anything on this one).
