Creating the perfect Firecracker Grilled Corn on the Cob is a straightforward process. Follow these steps for a dish that’s sure to impress:

1. Preheat the Grill: Start by preheating your grill to medium-high heat. This ensures the corn will cook evenly and develop those beautiful charred marks.
2. Grill the Corn: Place the husked corn directly on the grill grates. Grill for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally. You’ll know it’s ready when the kernels are tender and slightly charred.
3. Prepare the Sauce: While the corn is grilling, mix the mayonnaise, lime juice, chili powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. This creamy, zesty sauce is what gives the corn its “firecracker” flavor.
4. Brush the Corn: Once the corn is done, use a brush to generously coat each ear with the mayo mixture. The heat from the corn will help the sauce adhere and enhance the flavors.
5. Add Toppings: Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the coated corn. The cheese adds a tangy richness that complements the spicy sauce. Finally, garnish with chopped cilantro for a refreshing finish.
6. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the corn immediately to enjoy it at its best. The combination of flavors and textures is a true delight for the taste buds.
