Ingredients
- 6 Fresh Ears Corn
- 3 Tbsp butter for serving
- 1 tsp salt for serving
Instructions
- Soak the ears of corn in cool water for a least 20 minutes to prevent the husks from burning on the grill. I soaked the corn in a sink full of water.
- Preheat the grill over medium high heat (approximately 400 degrees F).
- Then place the ears of corn directly on the grill grates. Cook the corn for 20-22 minutes turning occasionally until the corn is cooked through and the husks are charred. I checked the corn by pulling back part of the husk and made sure that the corn is a bright yellow color and cooked through.
- Remove the corn from the grill. Let it cool until it's cool enough to handle. Then remove the husks and silks on the corn.
- Serve topped with the salt and butter. Enjoy!

Notes
- *Some recipes calls for remove the silk before grilling. I find that it's too difficult to remove without removing the husks. Once it's cooked, the silk and husk remove easily and taste great too!
- *Refrigerate the leftovers in air tight container for up to 1 week. You can also remove the kennels from the cob and refrigerate the kennels or freeze them for a future meal.
