→ To Serve

23 - Fresh chives, finely chopped, for garnish

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Combine beer, ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, chipotle, cumin, smoked paprika, and salt in a saucepan. Simmer over medium-low heat for 30 to 60 minutes until thickened, stirring occasionally. Allow to cool completely.
02 - Preheat grill to medium-high. Grill corn cobs directly over heat for 15 minutes, turning every 5 minutes for even char. Remove from heat and set aside.
03 - Pat chicken breasts dry. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Brush generously with cooled BBQ sauce. Grill for 5 minutes per side, basting with additional sauce. Grill for 1–2 more minutes until fully cooked. Remove from heat and rest for 10 minutes.
04 - Slice grilled corn kernels from cobs. In a saucepan, heat double cream, minced garlic, butter, and sugar over medium heat. Stir in corn kernels. Mix milk with flour until smooth, then add to the pan. Stir continuously until thickened. Fold in parmesan and season with salt and black pepper.
05 - Slice grilled chicken and arrange on plates with a generous portion of creamed corn. Sprinkle with chopped chives. Serve immediately.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Allow the BBQ sauce to cool completely for optimal flavor and glaze texture.
02 - Resting the chicken after grilling ensures juiciness and even distribution of juices.
