How to Make Grilled Corn On The Cob

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Shuck the corn, removing all the husks and silks.
  3. In a small bowl, combine 4 tablespoons of softened butter, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of granulated sugar. Mix well until smooth.
  4. Generously spread the butter mixture all over each ear of corn.
  5. Wrap each ear of corn in a double layer of heavy-duty aluminum foil.
  6. Place the foil-wrapped corn on the preheated grill.
  7. Grill for 15-20 minutes, turning every 5 minutes, until the corn is tender and slightly charred.
  8. Carefully remove the corn from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before unwrapping.
  9. Serve immediately with extra butter, if desired.
