Best Grilled Corn With Honey Ancho Chile Butter Recipes

GRILLED CORN WITH ANCHO CHILE BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Wrap the head of garlic with aluminum foil and roast for 40 minutes. Set aside until cool enough to handle.
• Squeeze the cloves of garlic from their papery skins into a small glass bowl. Add the butter and ancho powder, mixing well to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Place a piece of plastic wrap on a work surface, spoon the butter into the middle and roll into a cylinder. Refrigerate until set, at least 30 minutes. (The butter can be made ahead and will keep for up to a week.)
• Preheat a grill or grill pan to high heat.
• Grill the corn, turning occasionally, until browned in spots and the kernels are tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Brush with the ancho chile butter and serve.

JALAPENO HONEY BUTTER GRILLED CORN

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to 375 degrees F, setting one side of the grill to medium-high heat and the other side to low heat.
• Place the ears of corn directly on the grill grates on the medium-high side of the grill. Let char 2 to 3 minutes per side, about 10 minutes total.
• While the corn is grilling, in a 9-by-13-inch disposable aluminum baking pan, add the butter, honey and garlic. Place the pan directly on the grill grates on the low side of the grill. Stir occasionally to incorporate the butter and honey.
• Once the corn is done grilling and the butter is melted, remove the pan from the grill. Roll each piece in the baking pan, coating each side of the corn. When ready to serve, sprinkle with the crispy jalapenos and chili lime seasoning.

ANCHO CHILE-RUBBED GRILLED CORN

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
• Put the ears of corn on the grill and cook until the kernels begin to char. Rotate the corn until all sides are slightly charred, 10-15 minutes.
• Remove the corn from the grill and allow to cool slightly. Cut the kernels off both cobs and transfer to a small bowl. Fold in the chile powder, lime juice, and butter until combined. Season to taste with salt and pepper. If you intend to eat your corn on the cob, butter each cob, liberally season with chile powder, squeeze with lime, and garnish with cilantro and cotija cheese. If using as a burger topping, serve warm.

HONEY BUTTER GRILLED CORN

Steps:

• Combine the honey, butter, chile flakes, 1 cup water and 1 teaspoon of salt in a deep disposable 9-by-13-inch aluminum tray.
• Adjust the burners on a gas grill or arrange the hot coals on a charcoal grill to build a fire that is hot on one side and medium-low on the other side. Place the aluminum tray on the cooler side. Cover and let heat for a few minutes, swirling the butter occasionally until it is all melted and the liquid simmers gently.
• Add the corn to the hot side of the grill and cook, turning occasionally, until the kernels are lightly blackened in spots all over, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Transfer the corn to the aluminum tray and turn to coat in the liquid. Keep turning as the liquid reduces to a shiny glaze, 10 to 12 minutes. (You can also cook other foods over the hot side while the corn stays hot in the tray. Once glazed, you can continue to hold the corn in the pan for up to another 30 to 45 minutes, turning it occasionally and topping up with ¼ cup water as necessary to prevent the honey and butter from burning.)
• When ready to serve, coat a final time, sprinkle the corn with the minced parsley or chives and transfer to a serving platter.

GRILLED CORN WITH HONEY-ANCHO CHILE BUTTER

Steps:

• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in small skillet over medium-low heat. Add chile powder and cumin; stir 10 seconds. Transfer to medium bowl; stir in honey and cool.
• Add oregano, coarse salt, granulated garlic, onion powder, and 6 tablespoons butter to butter mixture. Mix until smooth. [DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover; chill. Bring to room temperature.]
• Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Grill corn until charred in spots, turning often, about 13 minutes. Transfer corn to platter. Serve with honey-ancho butter.

GRILLED CORN WITH CHILE BUTTER

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for high-heat cooking. For each corn cob, tear a piece of aluminum foil large enough to wrap it completely.
• In a bowl, combine the butter, chile, garlic (if using), salt and pepper. Mix well and taste. Adjust the seasonings; add drops of hot sauce if the butter is not spicy enough. Set aside.
• Shuck the corn. Use your hands to rub butter mixture thoroughly onto each cob, reserving about 1/4 of the mixture for basting. Wrap each buttered cob in aluminum foil.
• When ready to cook, place cobs on the grill (or, if the fire is low, in the coals) and cook 12 to 15 minutes, turning occasionally, until steamed and cooked through.
• Unwrap and place on the grill. Use remaining butter to baste the corn as it grills, turning it until lightly charred and cooked through. Serve immediately with lime wedges, if using.
