Step 1
Halve corn cobs lengthwise, keeping the core intact so each piece has a handle.
Step 2
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in chili powder and lime zest until fragrant, ~30 seconds.
Step 3
Add corn cobs to the skillet and brush generously with the chili butter on all sides.
Step 4
Cook 5–7 minutes, rotating and re-brushing occasionally, until edges blacken and kernels blister.
Step 5
Squeeze lime juice over the cobs. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a plate.
Step 6
Serve hot. Hold by the core and bite kernels straight from the cob.
