Grill Corn on the Cob: Quick Steps

Grill Corn on the Cob: Simple Steps

Grilling corn on the cob is easy and delivers incredible smoky flavor. Here’s how to do it.

Method 1: Husk On

1. Soak the corn: Submerge unhusked ears in water for at least 30 minutes. This prevents the husks from burning too quickly.
2. Grill: Place soaked corn directly on a preheated grill (medium-high heat). Turn every 5-7 minutes.
3. Cook: Grill for about 20-30 minutes, or until kernels are tender and slightly charred. The husks will be dark and smoky.
4. Shuck and serve: Carefully remove the hot husks and silks. Serve immediately.

Method 2: Husk Off

1. Prep the corn: Remove husks and silk. Brush kernels lightly with olive oil or melted butter.
2. Season: Sprinkle with salt, pepper, or your favorite spice blend.
3. Grill: Place corn directly on the grill grates over medium-high heat. Turn every 3-5 minutes.
4. Cook: Grill for 10-15 minutes, until kernels are tender and have nice char marks. Brush with butter or seasonings as it cooks.

Enjoy your perfectly grilled corn!
