  • 1/4 tsp white pepper
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika

            Method:

            1. Place corn in a large tray of hot water and set aside for 20 minutes to soak. Meanwhile, for the chicken salt butter, whiz butter in a small food processor for 1-2 minutes until light and fluffy. Add remaining ingredients and whiz until well combined.
            2. Preheat a chargrill pan to high. Pull back husks from the corn and tie to secure. Remove silks and discard. Grill, turning, for 15-20 minutes, until lightly charred and cooked through.
