Preparation steps
Clean the corn on the cob, wash and cook in boiling salted water for 15-20 minutes over medium heat. Then drain and drain.
While corn is cooking, beat butter with a hand mixer until creamy. Wash thyme, shake dry, set aside 3 sprigs, pluck leaves from the rest, chop finely and mix with butter. Season with salt and pepper.
Divide corn on the cob into 3 pieces and grill all around on a hot kettle grill for 6-7 minutes. Line an ovenproof baking dish or grill pan with parchment paper and place the pieces inside. Spread butter on corn cobs and cover and grill until lightly melted, 2-3 minutes. Remove, lightly salt and serve garnished with remaining thyme sprigs.
