Print Recipe

A quick and easy summer BBQ recipe featuring fresh corn on the cob glazed with a sweet and spicy honey sriracha sauce, grilled to smoky perfection.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ears fresh corn on the cob, husked
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • Salt to taste (about 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt)
  • Fresh cilantro, finely chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 375°F / 190°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, sriracha, olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, lime juice, and a pinch of salt until smooth and glossy.
  3. Remove husks and silk from each ear of corn. Use a damp paper towel to help remove stubborn silks.
  4. Brush each ear of corn generously with the honey sriracha glaze using a pastry brush.
  5. Place the glazed corn directly on the grill grates. Grill for 10-12 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes with tongs until golden brown spots and slight charring appear.
  6. If the glaze starts to burn, lower the heat or move the corn to a cooler part of the grill.
  7. After grilling, brush the corn with remaining glaze and let rest for 2-3 minutes.
  8. Sprinkle with chopped fresh cilantro if desired and serve immediately.

Notes

Use medium-high heat to avoid burning the glaze. Turn corn every 2-3 minutes for even caramelization. Honey burns quickly, so watch closely and have a water spray bottle handy for flare-ups. For vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup and olive oil with coconut oil. The glaze can be prepared ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
