How to Make Grilled Fresh Sweet Corn On The Cob In Husks

  1. Gently peel back the husks of each ear of corn, leaving about 2 inches of husk attached at the base.
  2. Remove all silk from the corn. Smooth the husks back into place, ensuring the kernels are completely covered.
  3. Fill a large sink or bowl with ice water. Submerge the corn and soak for 30 minutes.
  4. Drain the corn and shake off any excess water.
  5. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
  6. Place the corn directly on the grill, approximately 5 inches from the heat source.
  7. Grill for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the kernels are tender and slightly charred.
  8. Carefully remove the corn from the grill. Open the husks slightly.
  9. Brush generously with melted butter (check out our herbed butter recipes #66040 or #88873 for extra flavor!).
  10. Season with salt to taste, or use your favorite seasoning blend.
