Spicy Corn on the Cob

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 0.125 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 pinch onion powder
  • cayenne pepper to taste
  • garlic powder to taste
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 0.5 cup butter, softened
  • 6 ears corn, husked and cleaned

Method

  1. Heat your grill to a medium-high temperature.
  2. Combine the chili powder, oregano, onion powder, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl, then mix thoroughly into the softened butter. Coat each prepared ear of corn with the butter mixture. Wrap each one individually in a sheet of aluminium foil, twisting the ends to seal.
  3. Cook the foil-wrapped corn on the hot grill, turning now and then, until it becomes tender when pierced with a fork. This should take about 20 to 30 minutes.
