Grilled Corn on the Cob
from kristineskitchenblog.comHow to grill corn on the cob, with or without the husks, no soaking required. I make this grilled corn on the cob all summer long! It's a delicious side dish for burgers, ribs, or grilled chicken. I also love to slice the grilled corn off the cob and add it to salads or use it in recipes that call for canned or frozen corn.

Ingredients
- 4 ears corn on the cob*
- butter, salt and pepper for serving, optional
Instructions
To Grill Corn in Husks
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Trim off any silks hanging out of the top of the husks. If the husks have loose or dry outer leaves, remove them. If there are many layers of husk, you can pull off the outermost layer.
- Place corn on the hot grill and grill for 10-15 minutes with the lid closed, turning the corn every 2-3 minutes, until corn is tender. You may hear a few popping sounds from the corn as it cooks, but if it is popping a lot turn down the heat.
- Let the corn rest until cool enough to handle and then remove the husks and silks (you can use a kitchen towel to help hold the corn if it is hot). Serve corn with butter, salt and pepper, or as desired.
To Grill Corn without Husks
- Remove the husks and silks from the ears of corn.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
- Place corn on the hot grill and grill for 8-12 minutes with the lid closed, turning the corn every 2-3 minutes, until corn is tender. You may hear a few popping sounds from the corn as it cooks, but if it is popping a lot turn down the heat.
- Serve with butter, salt and pepper, or as desired.
Notes
- You can grill more or less corn, as desired.
- I have tested this recipe with and without pre-soaking the corn and I haven't found it necessary to soak. If you are grilling corn in the husks and wish to soak it, soak in cold water for 10-15 minutes before grilling.
- Nutrition estimate is for corn only, since toppings will vary.
