Grilled Corn on the Cob in Husk

Grilled Corn is a must when we grill out. But we have recently started grilling it with the husk on and the results are amazing. There are many ways to cook corn recipes and we have tried them all – Blackstone Corn on the Cob, Smoked Corn on the Cob, Blackstone Corn on the Cob in Husk and Corn on the Cob in Foil.

We love to grab corn while at the local farmers market, but you can easily get tasty corn at the grocery store. It makes a delicious grilled side dish that everyone loves.

Is it Better to to Grill Corn in the Husk?

We have grilled corn directly on the grill which gives the corn that charred flavor. Another way is grilling the corn in aluminum foil, but you lose the smokey flavor that the grill gives.

Grilling Corn in the Husk is a combination of the two. The corn still results in moist full of smokey flavor but it does take extra steps. Prepping the Corn in the Husk to grill takes a little longer, but we think it is worth it.

How to Grill Corn on the Cob in Husk

• Step 1 – Soak the Corn – Soak the ears of sweet corn in cold water for a least 20 to 30 minutes to prevent the husks from burning on the grill. I soaked the corn in a sink full of water. Remove corn from water and remove excess water before placing on grill.

• Step 2 – Prepare the Grill – Preheat the gas grill over medium high heat (approximately 400 degrees F). You can also use a charcoal grill.

• Step 3 – Cook Corn – Then place the ears of corn directly on the grill grates. Cook the corn for 20-22 minutes turning occasionally until the corn is cooked through and the husks are char. I checked the corn by pulling back part of the husk and made sure that the corn is a bright yellow color and cooked through.

• Step 4 – Remove Corn and Cool – Remove the corn from the hot grill grates. Let it cool until it’s cool enough to handle. Then remove the husks and silks on the corn.

• Step 5 – Serve and Enjoy – Serve topped with the salt and butter. Enjoy!

How to Serve Grilled Corn on the Cob

There are many different ways to serve corn on the cob. When I serve it, I like to have different bowls of topping so every one can top the way they like it. Here are some of our suggestions:

• Butter – You can use brush plain butter or mix in some garlic or other seasoning to add extra flavoring.
• Salt and Pepper – Salt and Black Pepper is a must to top the corn on the cob with.
• Cheese – We love the flavor that Parmesan Cheese or cotija cheese gives to the Corn. Sprinkle on top of the corn cob after grilling with chili powder for delicious flavor.
