Recipe type: Side dish
Serves: 6 side servings
Ingredients
Corn
  • 6 ears corn, in the husk
  • Water, for soaking
  • Grill, for grilling
  • Salt, for serving
Butter
  • 2-3 TBS butter, softened
  • 6 - 6 inch long chives, sliced (about 2 TBS)
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
Instructions
  1. Cover corn on the cob, in the husks, with water and soak for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat grill to medium heat.
  3. Trim off excess and dangling pieces of husk so they don't catch fire on the grill.
  4. Grill corn for approximately 30 minutes, or until husks are dark brown and almost burnt, turning the ears every 5-7 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, combine chives, garlic and butter in a bowl. Mash with a fork to combine.
  6. Remove corn from the grill and pull off husks and silks, ripping them off the cob (Caution! Corn will be hot!).
  7. Serve with garlic chive butter and salt.
Notes
Tips for pulling husks and silks off of hot corn: 1) Hold the cob under cold running water and pull off husks and silks quickly (10 seconds) so the ears don't cool down too much. 2) Wear an oven mit to hold the corn and use tongs to pull husks and silks from the ear.
