Aw Shucks Grilled Corn

Recipe from rick browne's barbecue america tv cookbook

Soak the corn in salt water for several hours to get the shucks moist.

In a medium bowl combine mayonnaise , butter , sugar , lime juice , chili , garlic and pepper until the ingredients are well mixed.

Grill the corn , with the shucks intact , over hot coals or high gas burners on the grill , turning frequently , until done , about 30 minutes.

The shucks will often turn dark / black but will protect the corn.

Peel the shucks back , one at a time , until most of the corn is exposed and then remove the silk.

With a pastry brush lavishly coat the corn with the spiced mayonnaise-butter mixture.

Serve with shucks tied together like a handle.
