| Maple Chipotle Grilled Corn |
Sweet maple syrup and smoky chipotles give this grilled corn an unbelievable flavor.
Who doesn’t love grilled corn or better yet, the first corn of the summer season?
Make that first serving of corn unforgettable with this absolutely terrific basting sauce.

I love the smoky flavor of chipotles and it combines so well with the sweetness of the maple syrup. Add some seasonings and of course butter, and there you have it. Simple yet so very good.
Try this basting sauce with other grilled veggies! It’s pretty universal in nature and would go with most anything.
Maple Chipotle Grilled Corn
Ingredients
- 6 ears fresh corn husked
- oil for grill
BASTING SAUCE
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 tsp finely minced garlic
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tbs finely chopped chipotle in adobo
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Place all sauce ingredients in a small saucepan. Heat, and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring often.
- Preheat grill to medium-high. Oil grill so corn does not stick. FYI--I use a small spray bottle or a Misto especially for the grill. I also have another plastic spray bottle with water to extinguish any flame flare-ups.
- Baste corn with sauce and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the sauce has caramelized. Baste top of corn and turn. Cook for 3-5 minutes as before.
- Remove from grill and serve immediately. Leftover sauce may be stored covered in the refrigerator -OR- served along with the corn for additional dipping.
- Makes 6 servings.

I plan to do a lot of unusual stuff this summer Gina. I have some ribs coming up soon that's cooked on indirect heat. I'm also going to have a post on how to use your grill as a smoker and it's the absolute BEST way to do it…no mess, no fuss and completely re-cyclable!!

I bought a can of chipotle in adobo for a BBQ recipe. The Hubby has a "wuss mouth" so I can't use much at a time. Looking for ways to use it up. Big Thanks for this recipe. Thanks for linking it up to#theWeekendSocial. Please visit again next week. http://www.theKitchenChopper.com

A teensy bit added to some mayo makes a terrific sandwich spread!! I have a couple of recipes on here that use it–Mexicali potato salad (you can omit the Herdez sauce and use a bit of the real deal), my 2-potato salad uses it too. Add a bit to mac & cheese too, makes it really special.
