Instructions

  • Preheat the grill between 300-350ºF. Clean the grill and cover.

Grilling Corn in the Husk

  • Place the corn in a large pot or bucket and cover the corn with water. Let the corn soak in water for 15-20 minutes before grilling. After soaking, shake the water off of the corn husk.

Tips & Notes

  • Grilling the corn in the husk steams the corn and then grills it. There are less grill marks and some think it give the corn a crunchier bite. Be careful not to over cook the corn in the husk or else it will over steam and turn mushy.
  • Grilling the corn without a husk gives you a little bit of a quicker grill with substantially more grill marks.
