• Wrap each ear of corn with a bacon strip; place on a piece of heavy-duty foil. Sprinkle with chili powder. Wrap securely, twisting ends to make handles for turning., Grill corn, covered, over medium heat 20-25 minutes or until corn is tender and bacon is cooked, turning once.

• Reduce heat to low. Stir corn into skillet, and cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Salt and pepper to taste. Do not drain grease from bacon - that is the secret to the flavor.

BUTTERY FRIED CORN WITH BACON

BACON-WRAPPED CORN ON THE COB RECIPE

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Lay a 13-by-18-inch piece of parchment paper on your countertop and lay 6 or 7 slices of bacon alongside each other, slightly overlapping one another, fat-side against meat-side, to form a rough rectangle that is as wide as an ear of corn is long.
• Cover with another sheet of parchment paper and pound lightly with a meat mallet or small sauté pan to flatten the bacon and press it together.
• Remove the top parchment sheet and decorate the bacon with 10 to 12 small pieces of basil (you can tear up the larger leaves) and a few slices of jalapeño pepper.
• Lay 1 ear of corn across the bottom of the rectangle and roll the corn up in the bacon.
• Transfer the bacon-wrapped corn to the prepared baking sheet, laying it seam side down on the parchment paper.
• Repeat the process with the remaining 7 ears of corn (you can use the same 2 pieces of parchment paper) until all are wrapped in bacon. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours and up to 24 hours.
• Preheat a grill to medium heat. If you have a larger grill with an upper rack, use that to cook the bacon.
• Grill the corn, starting with the bacon seam side down.
• Give them a quarter turn every 5 minutes until all of the bacon is crisp and caramelized and the corn is tender, 25 to 30 minutes total.
• This bacon-wrapped corn on the cob is delicious served ​with a charred lime crema. Recipe from Home: Recipes to Cook with Family and Friends by Chef Bryan Voltaggio, reprinted with permission.
