How to Make Best Ever Grilled Corn On The Cob From Recipe4Living Website

  1. Remove the dry outer husks from 4 ears of corn and discard.
  2. Gently peel back the husks from each ear of corn, leaving the corn silk intact for now.
  3. Rinse the corn under cold water to remove the silk. Pat completely dry with paper towels.
  4. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of chili powder and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper evenly over each ear of corn.
  5. Wrap 1/2 slice of bacon (about 2-3 oz total) around each ear of corn.
  6. Pull the husks back up over the corn and wrap the entire ear tightly in aluminum foil.
  7. Grill over medium-high heat for approximately 15-20 minutes, turning frequently to ensure even cooking and prevent burning.
  8. Remove from grill and let the corn rest in the foil for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  9. Carefully remove the foil and husks. Serve immediately and enjoy!

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.
