Grilled Corn On The Cob
Grilled Corn On The Cob offers two simple methods for preparing corn—either grilling with the husk on or off. Grilling without the husk involves brushing the corn with oil to encourage even charring and a slightly smoky flavor, while grilling with the husk produces a tender, steamed result with a subtle smoky aroma. Both methods finish with butter and seasoning for a savory touch.
