Honey Chipotle Grilled Corn

Corn is my absolute favorite vegetable, and one of the best ways to cook it is on the grill. Cooking corn on the grill (or in a grill pan, in my case) really brings out its sweet flavors. The additional sweetness of the honey perfectly complements the smokiness of the chipotles and gives this corn an extraordinary flavor. It would make a great side dish to pretty much any meal.
