DIRECTIONS

In a medium bowl, make your bang-bang butter by mixing together the chili sauce, butter, Sriracha, garlic, and lime juice. Season generously with salt and pepper.

Using a pastry brush, slather butter over the corn. Heat grill to medium-high, then place the corn on the grill, turning and basting with remaining bang bang butter occasionally until tender and charred, usually 10 to 15 minutes.

Garnish with cilantro and serve.


Hot July Chicken Burgers

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 1/2 lb. ground chicken
  • 3/4 tsp. smoked paprika
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 3 green onions, minced
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 slices cheddar
  • 4 leaves butterhead lettuce
  • 2 cups coleslaw
  • 1 avocado, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 jalapeño, thinly sliced
  • 4 brioche burger buns, slightly toasted

 

DIRECTIONS

In a large bowl, combine the chicken, paprika, garlic and green onions. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Divide the mixture into 4 patties.

Heat grill to medium-high and brush grates with oil to prevent sticking. Place the burger patties on the grill and cook, flipping once, until golden and a thermometer inserted into the center registers 165° (usually a few minutes per side).

Top with cheddar, cover and cook until just melted, about 1 minute. Transfer the burgers to a plate. Make your burger by adding lettuce, coleslaw, avocado, red onion and jalapeño to your burger. Top off with the top bun and enjoy!
