Ingredients
- 4 ears of corn, husked
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
- 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Chopped chives for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400-450°F). Clean and oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
- Remove the husks from the corn ears and ensure they are completely clean. Pat the corn dry with paper towels to help achieve better grill marks.
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave. Mix the melted butter with the buffalo sauce in a small bowl, creating a spicy buffalo butter mixture.
- Place the corn ears directly on the preheated grill. Cook for 10-12 minutes, rotating every 3-4 minutes to ensure even charring and cooking on all sides.
- As the corn cooks, brush the buffalo butter sauce generously over the corn, turning and basting to create a flavorful coating.
- Once the corn is evenly charred and cooked, remove from the grill and immediately sprinkle with crumbled blue cheese while still hot.
- Transfer the corn to a serving platter and garnish with freshly chopped chives for added color and flavor.
- Serve immediately while the corn is hot and the blue cheese is slightly melted, allowing the flavors to blend together.
Tips
- Choose Fresh Corn: For the best flavor, select fresh, sweet corn from your local market. Look for bright green husks and plump kernels.
- Preheat Your Grill: Make sure your grill is preheated to medium-high heat (400-450°F) to achieve those beautiful grill marks and a nice char on the corn.
- Baste Generously: Don’t be shy with the buffalo butter sauce! Basting the corn while it cooks ensures every bite is packed with flavor.
- Rotate for Even Cooking: Turn the corn every 3-4 minutes to ensure it cooks evenly and gets that perfect char all around.
- Serve Hot: For the best experience, serve the corn immediately after grilling, while it’s still hot and the blue cheese is slightly melted, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
- Garnish Creatively: Add a pop of color and freshness with chopped chives or even a sprinkle of paprika for an extra kick!
