Ingredients

- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to medium heat.
- While the grill is preheating, remove husks and silk from the ears of corn.
- Spray each piece with olive oil spray and place them on the grill.
- Cook for 10-12 minutes making sure to rotate occasionally.
- As soon as the corn cobs are removed from the grill, brush with butter, salt, and pepper.
Notes
- Alternative Grill Methods:
- STORE. Use a knife to cut the kernels from the grilled corn recipe and keep them in an airtight container in the fridge, or wrap the cobs with foil and keep them in the fridge.
- To reheat the cobs. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Wrap the cobs in foil before placing them in the oven, or even place the cobs wrapped in the husks into the oven. Cook for 5-7 minutes. If you cut the kernels off of the cob, you can reheat the kernels in a bowl in the microwave.
Wrapped in the husk. This method will produce a juicier ear of corn as the husk will help keep moisture in. Remove the silk strands before or after grilling. I usually remove them before grilling. Peel back the husks but leave them attached to the cob. Remove the silky strands and smooth the husks back around the cob.
Soak the cobs: To avoid the corn husks from burning while grilling, presoak the cobs in a pot of water for at least 30 minutes to moisten them enough for them to handle the heat, and add a little extra moisture to steam the corn with.

Wrapped in aluminum foil. Instead of wrapping the cob with the husk, wrap it with foil. This method works well for frozen corn on the cob.
Add char. If you like a little bit of char on the cobs themselves, remove the husk or foil after the allotted cooking time and briefly char the cobs directly on the grill. This will only take 4-5 minutes. Rotate the cob so it is evenly charred
