Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 ears fresh corn, silks removed, husks left on, soaked in cold water for 5 minutes
2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 to 4 chipotle chiles in adobo, pureed, 2 tablespoons total
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/4 cup freshly chopped cilantro leaves, plus more for garnish
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Honey, to taste

Steps:

Heat grill over high heat.
Place the corn on the grill, close the cover and grill for 15 to 20 minutes, turning every 5 minutes, or until kernels are tender. Remove from the grill, let cool slightly, remove husks and cut into 1-inch rounds.
Combine the butter, chipotle, garlic, cilantro, salt, pepper and honey in a food processor until smooth.
Skewer the corn onto 1 skewer (so the corn lays flat), and season with salt and pepper. Grill for 2 to 3 minutes per side until slightly charred. Remove and immediately brush with the butter and garnish with chopped cilantro.
