No 4th of July BBQ is complete without a couple ears of corn amiright? Say hello to grilled chili lime honey butter corn on the cob!
Corn on the cob is always delish but in my opinion, oh SO much better with a serious slathering of butter...even better when it's a delicious compound butter!
Melt the butter and whisk in some honey, lime zest, lime juice, cilantro, chili powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper and we are in business.
What are you waiting for? Fire up that grill and get cooking some grilled chili lime honey butter corn on the cob, recipe below!
