Provided by Nora from Savory Nothings

Categories     Side Dish

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 tablespoons butter (softened)
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon dried garlic powder (optional)
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper (optional)
6 ears corn (shucked)

Steps:

  • Preheat grill to 400°F.
  • Mash butter with salt, garlic powder and pepper until smooth (works great with a small fork).
  • Rub each ear of corn with butter mixture, then place on large aluminium foil pieces (I do 2 ears of corn per foil packet, but can also do each individually). If using regular aluminium foil, use a double layer to protect corn from direct heat. Fold foil up and over ears of corn to create a foil packet, crimping to seal all edges.
  • Place corn in foil packets on grill, close lid and grill for 10 minutes.
  • Carefully remove packets from grill, very carefully open and flip each ear of corn. Carefully seal foil packets again and finish grilling corn for another 10-20 minutes, until cooked through and slightly starting to brown.
  • Carefully remove foil packets from grill, carefully open and serve corn with more butter and salt.

GRILLED CORN ON THE COB IN FOIL RECIPE

Grilling the corn in the husk can also cause a charred mess, which can make a more difficult cleanup. However, grilling the corn in foil helps maintain maximum seasoningand avoids a burned, stuck-on mess for easy cleanup. It also helps ensure tender, juicy kernels every time.

Categories     Side Dish

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 ears of corn
Butter
Salt
Pepper
Fresh garlic or garlic powder
Aluminum foil

Steps:

  • Heat the grill between medium-high and medium heat.
  • Remove the husks as well as the silk from the corn.
  • Next, enclose the corn separately in foil, or enclose the corn using two large pieces of foil.
  • However, be sure to place the corn on the shiniest side of the foil, which will enable better heat conduction.
  • Brush the corn with butter and then add a dash of salt.
  • Add some garlic powder or a few fresh garlic cloves, and then secure the foil.
  • If you'd like, you can also add 3 to 4 cubes of ice to the foil for extra steaming power.
  • However, be sure to secure the foil tight to prevent the water from leaking out.
  • You should also be careful when removing the package from the fire as any remaining water in the package will have heated to a boil.
  • Or, you can prepare some garlic butter to place on the corn after it has fully cooked.
  • To do so, add 4 tablespoons of butter, 1 garlic clove, pressed, a dash of salt, 1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon of fresh parsley into a bowl.
  • Keep the garlic butter at room temperature, and then once the corn is done, brush a little or a lot of the butter onto the corn just before serving to add flavor.
  • Place the corn on the grill, and allow it to cook for 20 minutes or until it is done, turning it about every two to three minutes to prevent it from becoming burned or scorched.

Tips for Grilling Corn on the Cob in Foil

- **Use fresh corn on the cob:** Fresh corn on the cob has a sweeter flavor and is more tender than corn that has been sitting around for a while. - **Soak the corn in water before grilling:** This helps to prevent the corn from drying out and keeps it moist and juicy. - **Season the corn with your favorite spices:** You can use a simple combination of salt and pepper, or you can get more creative with your seasonings. Some popular options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, chili powder, and cumin. - **Wrap the corn tightly in foil:** This helps to keep the corn from drying out and also prevents the kernels from falling off. - **Grill the corn over medium heat:** This will help to prevent the corn from burning. - **Turn the corn occasionally:** This will help to ensure that the corn cooks evenly. - **Cook the corn until it is tender:** You can test the corn by piercing it with a fork.
