Instructions

Step 1: Preheat a grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). In a small bowl, combine 6 tbsp softened unsalted butter, 3 finely minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, 1 tbsp chopped fresh chives, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp sea salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper; mix until smooth and fragrant.
Step 2: Grill 6 fresh ears of sweet corn (with husks removed) directly on the grill grates for 10-12 minutes, turning every 3 minutes until the kernels are tender and lightly charred.
Step 3: Remove corn from the grill and immediately brush generously with the prepared garlic herb butter. Serve warm for a flavorful regional side dish.
