Honey-Buttered Grilled Corn
- 4 large ears of corn
- 1 stick unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons honey
- Kosher salt
- Cayenne pepper
- 4 oregano or thyme sprigs
- Pull the husks back from each ear of corn, leaving them attached to the stem.
- Holding an ear of corn in one hand, gather the husk together so that it covers the stem, forming a sort of handle.
- Remove all of the corn silk.
- Light a grill or preheat a grill pan.
- In a small bowl, blend the butter and honey.
- Working with 1 ear of corn at a time, using the husk as a handle, spread about 2 tablespoons of the honey butter all over the kernels.
- Season the corn with salt and cayenne, then press a sprig of oregano onto the kernels.
- Pull the husks back over the corn and tie with kitchen string.
- Repeat with the remaining 3 ears of corn.
- Grill the corn over moderate heat, turning, until the husks are lightly charred and the corn kernels are just tender, about 15 minutes.
- Transfer the corn to a platter, remove the kitchen string and serve.
