Ingredients
-
1/2
stick unsalted butter, room temperature
-
1 tablespoon
hoisin sauce
-
2 1/2 teaspoons
finely grated orange zest
-
2
cloves garlic, minced
-
3/4 teaspoon
Sriracha
-
6
ears of corn, husked
-
salt and pepper to taste
-
fresh cilantro, chopped for garnish
Directions
-
Heat your grill to medium-high heat.
-
Mix first four ingredients in a small bowl to blend. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
-
Brush grill grate with oil. Brush corn with some of the hoisin butter and grill, turning occasionally, until beginning to soften, 8 to 10 minutes. Continue to grill, brushing occasionally with more hoisin butter, until corn is tender and charred in spots, about 5 minutes longer.
-
Transfer to a platter; brush with more hoisin butter. Sprinkle with cilantro (skip the cilantro or replace with flat-leaf parsley if you’re averse to cilantro).
