How to Make Barbecue Corn With Bacon

  1. Carefully peel back the husks of 4 ears of corn, removing all the silk.
  2. Melt 4 tablespoons of butter. Brush each ear of corn generously with melted butter.
  3. Season the corn liberally with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  4. Wrap each ear of corn with 3-4 slices of bacon, ensuring it's evenly distributed.
  5. Gently replace the corn husks over the bacon-wrapped corn.
  6. Secure the husks at the top with kitchen twine.
  7. Place the corn cobs directly on the preheated BBQ grill.
  8. Cook with the lid closed for 30-40 minutes, turning occasionally, until the bacon is crispy and the corn is tender. Internal temperature should reach 200°F (93°C).
  9. Remove from the BBQ, let rest for a few minutes, and serve immediately!
