📝 Preparation Steps
1
Whisk together Chipotle Honey Lime Butter ingredients in a medium bowl, set aside.
2
TO GRILL: Trim the silk from the top of each ear of corn (to prevent it from catching fire) and peel away the first layer of husks.
3
Pull down the outer husks of the corn to the base (but DO NOT REMOVE) and remove all of the silk. Fold husks back into place, and soak cobs COMPLETELY submerged in a pot of cold water lightly seasoned with salt for ⏱️ 15 minutes. (I place a second large bowl of water on the husks to keep them completely under the water because they like to float).
4
Meanwhile, grease grill and preheat to a medium (350 degees F). After soaking, remove the corn from the water and shake off any excess water.
5
Place corn on the grill, close the cover and grill, turning every ⏱️ 5 minutes, for 15 to ⏱️ 20 minutes, or until kernels are tender (outer husks will become quite charred).
6
When corn is cool enough to handle, (about ⏱️ 5 minutes) remove husks and brush with Chipotle Honey Lime Butter. You can also add Chipotle Honey Lime Butter to a shallow dish and add corn and turn to coat.
7
Sprinkle corn with Cotija cheese and cilantro and season liberally with freshly cracked salt. Serve immediately. For spicier corn, sprinkle with additional chipotle chili powder.

TO ROAST: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
9
Pull down the outer husks of the corn to the base (but DO NOT REMOVE) and remove all of the silk. Brush the corn kernels lightly with Chipotle Honey Butter and pull husks up back over corn.

Place corn on an aluminum covered baking sheet and bake for ⏱️ 40-45 minutes or until tender.
