    Grilled Corn on cob in the husk with chili-lime butter

    This Chile corn on the cob is super easy, makes a great presentation and is absolutely delicious. Chile corn can also be made by cutting the corn in two pieces and putting them in foil with the butter mixture but I just love the look of the grilled cooked corn in the husk. Chile corn makes a lovely side dish for any occasion.

    Chile CornWhat makes this Chile corn special is the chili-lime butter.  It adds such a wonderful flavor to the corn on the cob.  We absolutely this loved this Chile corn.  It really kicks your normal corn on the cob up a notch. I often just boil corn however grilling it in the husk really makes a huge flavor difference.  You should try it!

    How do you normally cook your corn?  What kind of butter do you use, do you flavor your butter and if so what do you flavor it with?  Please let me know in the comments below.  Did you know that both potatoes and corn are staple ingredients in Chilean cuisine?  If  you would like to learn more about this beautiful South American country be sure to check out "Our Journey to Chile" you can also find many more authentic Chilean recipes there.
