How to prepare Corn on the cob with garlic and chive butter: 

1. Begin by preparing the garlic and chive butter. In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, and chopped chives. Mix well and set aside.

2. Next, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the corn on the cob and cook for 7 to 10 minutes until tender.

3. Remove the corn from the pot and let it cool slightly. Once it’s cool enough to handle, spread the garlic and chive butter over each ear of corn.

4. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Tips

1. For a smoky flavor, consider grilling the corn instead of boiling.

2. If you’re not a fan of chives, you can substitute with other herbs like parsley or cilantro.

3. To make the corn even more flavorful, let the butter mixture sit for a few hours before using. This allows the flavors to meld together.
