Tips:

  • Choose fresh corn on the cob: Look for ears with bright green husks and plump kernels. Avoid ears with brown or yellow husks, or kernels that are shriveled or discolored.
  • Soak the corn on the cob in water before grilling: This will help to prevent the kernels from drying out and becoming tough. Soak the corn for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat: This will help to create a nice sear on the corn and prevent it from sticking to the grill grates.
  • Brush the corn on the cob with oil: This will help to prevent the corn from sticking to the grill grates and will also help to create a nice golden brown color.
  • Grill the corn on the cob for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally: The corn is done when the kernels are tender and slightly charred.
  • Season the corn on the cob with your favorite seasonings: Some popular options include salt, pepper, butter, garlic powder, and paprika.
  • Serve the corn on the cob immediately: Corn on the cob is best enjoyed fresh off the grill.
