How to Make Bacon Wrapped Corn

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Place bacon strips on a clean work surface and lay 1 corn cob on top of each bacon strip.
  3. Wrap the bacon tightly around each ear of corn.
  4. Place each wrapped ear of corn on a large piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil.
  5. Sprinkle each corn cob generously with 1/2 teaspoon chili powder.
  6. Wrap the foil tightly around the corn, twisting the ends to create handles for easy turning.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
