How to Make Grilled Fresh Corn

  1. Carefully remove the husks and silks from 4 ears of fresh corn.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon melted butter, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. (Optional: Add 1 teaspoon of sugar for extra sweetness)
  3. Using a pastry brush, generously coat each ear of corn with the olive oil mixture.
  4. Wrap each ear of corn tightly in its husk, then wrap again in heavy-duty aluminum foil.
  5. Grill over medium heat (250-300°F) for 75-90 minutes, turning occasionally, until the corn is tender and slightly charred. Cooking time may vary depending on your grill and the size of the corn. Check for doneness by gently squeezing an ear; it should yield slightly.
