Corn on the Cob With Chipotle Butter - Bon Appetit recipe image

This classic American summer dish elevates simple corn on the cob with a bold, spicy twist. The key is the chipotle butter, which blends creamy richness with the smoky heat of canned chipotle chilies in adobo sauce. The corn itself is boiled in a mixture of water and milk, a trick that helps retain its natural sweetness and tender texture. The result is a vibrant side dish or appetizer that balances sweet, savory, and spicy notes perfectly. It’s ideal for backyard barbecues, summer potlucks, or as a colorful addition to a holiday feast. Easy to prepare ahead of time, this recipe brings restaurant-quality flavor to your home table with minimal effort.
