Description
Learn how to grill corn in the husk with this easy recipe. Just soak the corn in water for 15 minutes, toss it on the grill, and you’re good to go! Flavorful, juicy, and oh-so-delicious.
Ingredients
- Fresh ears of corn, in the husk
- Butter, to taste
- Salt, pepper, or seasoning of choice (optional)
Instructions
- Peel back and remove the outer 1–2 layers of husk and trim the stem, leaving most of the husk intact.
- Place the corn in a large bowl or sink of cold water and soak for 1 hour to help prevent burning and promote steaming inside the husk.
- Preheat the grill to medium heat.
- Place the soaked corn on the grill, avoiding direct flames. Close the lid and cook for 30 minutes, turning every 10 minutes for even grilling.
- Once the corn is cooked, carefully pull back the husks, keeping them attached at the base. At this point, you can place the corn directly over the flame to achieve a smoky, charred flavor. Be very careful to keep the husks out of the flame. They will catch fire if they touch the flame. Turn the corn as needed for even charring.
- Remove from the grill, peel off any remaining husk and silk. Butter and season to taste. Serve warm.
