Grilled Corn on the Cob (Extra Easy)
Description
This recipe for Grilled Corn on the Cob starts with soaking the ears to add moisture and prevent burning on the grill. After soaking, the husks are peeled back and silk removed, allowing the corn to cook evenly and the kernels to soften. Grilling over medium heat ensures a balance of cooking through and maintaining some char and smokiness.
The corn is turned every few minutes to cook all sides evenly. Once the kernels feel soft to the touch, the corn is removed and husks peeled away before serving. The addition of butter melts over the hot kernels, enhancing flavor and juiciness. Salt can be added according to taste.
This simple preparation is convenient for summer cookouts or quick side dishes, preserving the freshness of the corn and adding light smokiness from the grill.
Ingredients
- 5 corn ears
- 2 tbsp butter unsalted
- 1 tbsp salt (optional)
Instructions
- Soak corn in water for 20-30 mintues.
- Preheat grill to medium heat. Peel off few layers of corn leaves and remove corn silk. Chop off the hard, dry ends. Place husked corn directly on the grill, turning it every couple of minutes to ensure each side cooks evenly.
- Once the corn feels soft, remove it from the grill. Peel off the husk and serve with your favorite seasoning and a hefty chunk of butter.
