Bourbon Butter Grilled Corn
A delicious side dish that is easy to make for the BBQ. The corn is cooked in aluminum foil. I added homemade whiskey Maple butter to it because the butter ensures that the corn does not dry out and gives the corn a delicious buttery taste.
After cooking, you can grill the corn for another three minutes to get that smoky BBQ taste. This is a recipe that you try once, and then you’ll have to make more and more of it because everyone loves it so much!
