Ingredients

  • 6 Fresh Ears Corn
  • 3 Tbsp Butter for serving
  • 1 tsp Salt for serving

Instructions

  • Place 6 fresh ears of corn in cool water and soak for at least 20 minutes to help prevent the husks from burning on the grill.
  • Preheat the grill over medium high heat (approximately 400 degrees F).
  • 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 charred. 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.
  • Remove the corn from the grill. Let it cool until it's cool enough to handle. Then remove the husks and silks on the corn.
  • Serve topped with 3 tablespoons butter and 1 teaspoon salt. Enjoy!

Notes

*Some recipes calls for remove the silk before grilling. I find that it's too difficult to remove without removing the husks. Once it's cooked, the silk and husk remove easily and taste great too!
*Refrigerate the leftovers in air tight container for up to 1 week. You can also remove the kennels from the cob and refrigerate the kennels or freeze them for a future meal.
