Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
1 1/2 tablespoons minced seeded canned chipotle chilies*
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
8 large ears of corn, husked
Lime wedges

Steps:

  • Melt butter in small saucepan over medium heat. Add minced chipotles, fresh lime juice, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Reduce heat to low and cook chipotle butter 1 minute to blend flavors.
  • Place ears of corn on baking sheet. Brush corn all over with chipotle butter. (Can be prepared 4 hours ahead. Cover corn and refrigerate.)
  • Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Grill corn until cooked through and blackened in spots, turning frequently, about 6 minutes. Serve corn with lime wedges.
  • Chipotle chilies canned in a spicy tomato sauce, sometimes called adobo, are available at Latin American markets, specialty foods stores, and some supermarkets.
