  • 3 tablespoons minced fresh chives

Alternatively, set half the burners on a gas grill to the highest heat setting, cover, and preheat for 10 minutes.Cleanandoilthe grilling grate.

  2. While grill preheats, combine mayonnaise, 1/4 cup hot sauce, blue cheese, and 2 tablespoons chives. Set aside.

  3. Place corn directly over hot side of fire. If using coal grill, keep uncovered. If using gas, cover when not turning corn. Cook the corn, turning every minute or so until it is well charred on all sides, about 10 minutes total.
