Ingredients

Grilled Corn

8 ears yellow corn in husk
kosher salt to serve

Herb Butter

6 tbsp salted butter softened
1 garlic clove finely minced
2 tbsp fresh chives chopped
1/4 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

Preheat grill to 450–500°F.
Peel back corn husks, remove silk, and fold husks back over the corn.
Grill corn for 15–20 minutes, rotating every 5 minutes until lightly charred and tender.
Mix butter, garlic, chives, paprika, and black pepper in a small bowl.
Remove husks, spread herb butter over hot corn, sprinkle with salt, and serve immediately.

For extra smoky flavor, grill the corn directly over open flame for the final 2–3 minutes.
