Grilled Corn

Every time I turn around I see corn on sale. So, I finally gave in to those sales and picked some to go with our dinner one night. We were having Cilantro Pesto Chicken and Cilantro Lime Rice and I really wanted something fresh to eat with our grilled chicken, so I thought a grilled corn on the cob would be great. Now … I will admit it is grocery store corn on the cob and cannot possibly compare to that from the farmer’s market, but I am not in the habit of checking out our local market. One of these days I will make it a habit to get to my local farmer’s market regularly.

Since we were having cilantro pesto chicken I wanted my corn to have some spicy flavoring to it, so I basted it in a butter sauce and then threw it on the grill.
