Ingredients

Convert cups to grams →

  • 4 precooked corn on the cob
  • 60 g (1/4 cup) butter
  • 0.5 bunch chives
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp sweet paprika

Method

  1. Soften butter and combine with finely sliced chives, lime juice, salt and paprika. Chill again until serving.
  2. Pat the precooked corn dry. Preheat a gas grill to about 350 °F (180 °C) with direct and indirect zones.
  3. Grill directly for about 12 to 18 minutes, turning every 3 minutes. Move darkening cobs indirectly to finish heating; they should be hot throughout with browned patches.
  4. Transfer to a clean platter and brush with chive butter only now. Let it melt briefly and warn diners that the cobs are hot.

Tip: Cooking times are untested estimates. Check earlier for thinner pieces or changing grill heat, and cook longer as needed.
