Serves 6

Don't even question this - just make it. I made it for my brother-in-law, Brian ages ago, and he's still talking about it.

Ingredients

  • 6 ears of corn
  • 3/4 cups butter (1.5 sticks)
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons chili powder
  • Juice from 3 limes
  • about a teaspoon of Kosher salt

Steps

  1. Heat grill to medium
  2. Pull husk and silk completely off corn
  3. Melt butter and stir in chili powder and juice from 2 1/2 of the limes - mix well
  4. Grill corn right on the BBQ until soft, nicely browned and bitchin' looking - this can take up to 30 minutes.
  5. Start basting about 10 minnutes in, then baste often until finished cooking
  6. When done, remove from grill to a bowl or platter, squeeze the last half lime on top and sprinkle lightly with Kosher salt
