Print Recipe

A quick and easy summer BBQ side dish featuring fresh corn grilled with a sticky, sweet, and spicy honey sriracha glaze that caramelizes beautifully on the grill.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ears fresh corn on the cob, husked and cleaned
  • 3 tablespoons honey (raw or organic preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt to taste (sea salt flakes recommended)
  • Juice of half a lime
  • Small handful fresh cilantro, chopped (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Husk the corn, removing all silk threads. Rinse under cold water and pat dry (about 5 minutes).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, sriracha, melted butter, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and lime juice until smooth and well combined (about 3 minutes).
  3. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (375-400°F / 190-205°C).
  4. Place corn directly on grill grates and cook for about 10 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes to ensure even grilling and prevent burning. Look for kernels to blister and char slightly.
  5. During the last 5 minutes of grilling, generously brush the honey sriracha glaze over the corn, turning after brushing each side to caramelize the glaze.
  6. Remove corn from grill once nicely charred and sticky with glaze. Sprinkle with sea salt and chopped cilantro if using. Serve immediately.

Notes

If glaze starts to burn, move corn to a cooler part of the grill or reduce heat. Brush glaze multiple times during last minutes for best flavor. Fresh corn caramelizes better than frozen. For dairy-free, substitute butter with vegan butter or olive oil. Leftovers can be refrigerated up to 2 days and reheated gently on grill or oven wrapped in foil.
