1/2cup1 stick unsalted butter, softened
1teaspoonsalt
1/2teaspoonblack pepper
1/4teaspoonchili powderoptional, for a little kick
Instructions
Preparing the Corn
Start by removing any loose or excess husk from the corn cobs, but leave the majority of the husk intact. You want that natural corn wrapper to keep the moisture locked in while smokin'!
In a large bowl, fill it up with cold water and soak the corn cobs for about 10 minutes. This little water bath will help prevent 'em from turnin' into charcoal on the grill.
Prepping the Seasoned Butter
While the corn is takin' a relaxing dip, let's whip up the seasoned butter. In a bowl, mix together the softened butter, salt, black pepper, and if you're feelin' adventurous, throw in a pinch of chili powder for some zing.
Give that butter a taste test, and adjust the seasonings to your likin'. Remember, this is your grill party, so flavor it up as you please!
Grillin' Like a Pro
Fire up your Traeger pellet grill and set the temperature to 400°F/204°C. Give it a few minutes to get all smoky and ready for action!
While the grill is heatin' up, drain the soaked corn cobs and pat 'em dry with a kitchen towel.
Now comes the fun part – slather those corn cobs with the seasoned butter you made earlier. Be generous, and make sure every inch of that corn is coated with buttery goodness!
Embrace the Smoky Sizzle
Place the buttery corn cobs on the grill grates and let 'em sizzle away for about 20 minutes. Remember to turn 'em occasionally, so they get that beautiful, even char.
Keep an eye on 'em, 'cause we don't want 'em to get too dark. We're goin' for that perfect golden color and smoky flavor, not corn on the cob jerky!
Serve and Savor
Once your corn on the cob has reached grillin' perfection, take 'em off the heat, and let 'em cool for a minute or two.
Now, it's time to dig in! Grab those corn cobs, peel back the husk, and get ready to indulge in the sweet, smoky goodness. Oh, and don't forget to slather on some extra butter if you're feelin' extra indulgent!
