Ingredients
  

4 ears of fresh corn, husked

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1/4 cup honey

2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon salt

Fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Corn: Begin by husking the corn and removing any silk strands. Rinse under cold water and set aside.

    Make the Sweet Chili Honey Butter: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, honey, sweet chili sauce, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and salt. Mix until smooth and well-combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

      Grill the Corn: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Once hot, place the corn directly onto the grill grates. Grill for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the corn is tender and has light char marks.

        Slather the Corn: Once grilled, remove the corn from the heat. Using a brush or a spoon, generously slather the sweet chili honey butter onto each ear of corn while it’s still warm, allowing the butter to melt into the kernels.

          Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle the grilled corn with chopped cilantro or parsley for added freshness. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.

            Enjoy: Dive into this sweet, spicy, and buttery delight! Perfect for summer cookouts or as a tasty side dish at any meal.
