Preparation

Step 1

Prepare grill for medium-high heat. Mix butter, herbs, salt, pepper, and a pinch of cayenne pepper in a small bowl. Set herb butter aside.

Brush corn with oil and grill, turning often, until it is tender and charred in spots, 5–8 minutes.

Transfer corn to a large platter or bowl and spread with reserved herb butter, dividing evenly.

DO AHEAD: Herb butter can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before spreading over grilled ears of corn.
