How to Grill Corn
The simplest trick to guarantee the best grilled corn on the cob that you'll ever eat!
Ingredients
- 8 ears of corn
- 8 individual paper towels
- 8 pieces of aluminum foil
- 1/2 stick butter (more or less depending on number of ears of corn)
- Sea salt
- Ground black pepper
Instructions
- Strip the corn down by removing the husk and little stringies.
- Wrap each corn ear in a damp paper towel. Not dripping but wet enough so you could squeeze a few drops out if needed. This gives the corn its own personal little steam bath while also allowing for it to get a little crispy on the edges.
- Wrap each ear tightly in foil.
- Preheat grill to 350-400°F. (Burners on medium). Once grill is warmed up, place the corn on and close the lid. Let it cook for about 10 minutes. Then, flip them over on the other side and give them another 10 minutes. (Note: If you're only cooking 3-4 ears, reduce the time by a few minutes on each side.)
- Remove them from the heat and unwrap them when you are ready to eat. Add a little butter, salt, and pepper. Or maybe add a little Parmesan cheese, too.
- Serve the corn warm and enjoy.

- Corn can be prepped in advance.
- Some prefer to cook their corn less than 20 minutes. If you want it more on the crisp side that is fine.
