Grilled Corn with Hot Honey Lime Sauce

Making grilled corn is easy and one of the most delicious ways to eat corn-on-the-cob. The grilling carmelizes the sugars in the corn and makes it so tasty!

Grilled corn-on-the-cob is one of my family's favorite BBQ food side dishes.  To make a good corn-on-the-cob dish be sure you are buying the best corn. The silks need to be a bit sticky and the corn should cover the pointed end. Look for cut ends that are still green, not brown. I like to completely remove the husks and the silks before cooking. It's the way my momma taught me.

Grilling corn from the raw state takes some time, so I like to wrap my corn in wet paper towels, then microwave them. The corn steams inside the paper towels. I remove the towels and stick them on the grill to get a few charred grill marks on the corn. I love that flavor!

I love to make compound butters to use on the corn.  This one uses The Spice House's Gateway to the North spice blend. It has a bit of maple sugar in it and some additional lime zest. It is so good!  You can make the butter ahead of time and that is a tip that saves you time.  Yay for saving time!

Grilled corn-on-the-cob is the perfect side dish for grilled steak, grilled pork steaks, and BBQ'd chicken. Sometimes, I'll eat it for lunch with a little heavy cream. Almost like eating dessert!
