Ingredients

Scale

Corn

  • 6 ears fresh corn, shucked and cleaned

Bang Bang Butter Sauce

  • ½ cup sweet chili sauce
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 limes, juiced
  • Salt & pepper, to taste
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bang Bang Butter: In a bowl, mix together the sweet chili sauce, melted butter, sriracha sauce, minced garlic, lime juice, and salt and pepper until everything is well combined creating a flavorful bang bang butter sauce.
  2. Slather the Corn: Generously brush the bang bang butter all over the shucked ears of corn, ensuring they are evenly coated for maximum flavor.
  3. Grill the Corn: Heat a stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat. Place the coated corn on the grill and cook for about 15 minutes, turning frequently and basting with additional bang bang butter to char the corn evenly and infuse it with flavor.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Once grilled to your desired level of char, remove the corn from the pan. Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro for a bright, fresh finish. Serve immediately and enjoy this spicy, tangy grilled corn on the cob.

Notes

  • No soaking of the corn is required before grilling, which saves preparation time.
  • The bang bang butter sauce combines sweet, spicy, and tangy flavors making this corn irresistibly addictive.
  • Adjust the amount of sriracha to dial the spiciness up or down according to your preference.
  • Using a stovetop grill pan provides easy indoor grilling without the need for an outdoor grill.
