BBQ Corn with Lime Spice Rub

This is a summer favourite of ours and I think it is definitely the best way to eat corn on the cob.
Ingredients
1-2 ears of unshucked! corn per person (ears closed tight)
1/2 lime per person

1 teaspoon onion flakes
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
2 teaspoons brown sugar
lime / spice technique
Directions
Preheat BBQ on high. Combine spices together and mix. Divide equal portions of spice mix into enough ramekins for each dinner guest. Cut limes in half. Put unshucked corn on BBQ and turn down to medium heat. Grill for 5 minutes then flip over and grill other side for 5 minutes. Remove from BBQ and shuck burnt corn ears using oven mitts. The corn inside will be perfectly cooked and tasty. Serve hot with spice rub and lime halves by dipping cut lime face in spice mixture and then rubbing and squeezing on corn.
