Shuck the corn and remove any silk strands. Use a large sharp knife to cut the bottom of the stalk (the thicker side) about 1/3 inch off at most. Stand the cob up on the flat end so it is vertical and carefully cut down through the core, rocking the knife back and forth (this might take a minute!) Lay the two halves flat and cut them in half again. Repeat with other cobs. Melt butter in a small bowl for 15-20 seconds in the microwave and add salt and spices. Brush onto the kernel sides of the corn. For the next step you can use a grill or oven. Grill: heat to 400°F on medium flame. Add seasoned corn ribs with one of the cut sides down and cook for 8 minutes. Turn the corn to the other cut side and remove from direct heat or reduce heat to low then cook for 6-8 minutes. Oven: Preheat to 425°F. Cover the bottom of a baking sheet with parchment paper/foil and place corn ribs cut side down in a single layer. Bake for 12 minutes then flip to the other cut side, bake an additional 6 -8 minutes. After grilling/roasting the outside should be lightly charred, and the ends curled in slightly. Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together all the dipping sauce ingredients. Season to taste with additional honey or hot sauce. Pile the corn ribs on a platter with garnishes of choice and serve with the dipping sauce!
