Smoky Grilled Cuban Corn
Prep: 25 minutes
Grill: 20 minutes • Serves: 4
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 teaspoons chili powder
1-1/2 teaspoons lime zest
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt

1.In bowl, cover woodchips with warm water; soak as label directs. In small bowl, stir butter, lime juice, chili powder, zest and salt until well combined.
2.Peel back husks from each ear of corn, leaving husks attached at end of each ear. Rinse ears under cold water while using a stiff-bristled brush to remove silks. Spread each ear with butter mixture; pull husks
back over the ears.
