Make

If cooking on grill: Heat grill so that burners or coals are at high heat on one half of grill, leaving the other half for cooking with indirect heat. When grill is hot, clean grates and brush with cooking oil. Place corn over indirect heat and cook, turning occasionally, until tender, 10 to 12 minutes. After corn has cooked for a few minutes, remove chicken from marinade (discard marinade) and sear on both sides over hottest part of grill. Transfer chicken to indirect heat until cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes more.
If cooking on stovetop: Boil a large stockpot of water. When water boils, add corn and boil until tender, 8 to 10 minutes.
If cooking on stovetop: While corn cooks, heat a grill pan or frying pan with cooking oil over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade (discard marinade) and transfer to heated oil. Sear on both sides for 3 to 4 minutes each, until cooked through.
Serve chicken with peach salsa on top. Just before serving, rub corn with citrus butter. Enjoy!
