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.
What 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!
