Categories     side-dish

Time 35m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 2

8 ears corn
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Heat the grill to medium.
  • Pull the outer husks down the ear to the base. Strip away the silk from each ear of corn by hand. Fold husks back into place and tie the ends together with kitchen string. Place the ears of corn in a large bowl of cold water with 1 tablespoon of salt for 10 minutes.
  • Remove corn from water and shake off excess. Place the corn on the grill, close the cover and grill for 15 to 20 minutes, turning every 5 minutes, or until kernels are tender when pierced with a paring knife. Remove the husks and eat on the cob or remove the kernels.
  • How to remove corn kernels from cob: To remove kernels from cobs of either raw or cooked corn, stand cob upright on its stem end in a large pan, holding tip with fingers. Cut down the sides of cob with sharp paring knife, releasing kernels without cutting into cob. Run dull edge of knife down the cob to release any remaining corn and liquid.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, sweet corn on the cob. Look for ears with tightly packed kernels and bright green husks.
  • Soak the corn in cold water for at least 30 minutes before grilling. This will help prevent the kernels from drying out.
  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. You want the grill to be hot enough to sear the corn but not so hot that it burns.
  • Brush the corn with olive oil or melted butter. This will help the corn to brown evenly and prevent it from sticking to the grill.
  • Grill the corn for 10-12 minutes, turning it every few minutes, until the kernels are tender and slightly charred.
  • Remove the corn from the grill and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. You can then brush the corn with additional butter, sprinkle it with salt and pepper, or add your favorite toppings.

Conclusion:

Grilled corn on the cob is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed at any time of year. With its slightly smoky flavor and tender, juicy kernels, grilled corn is a perfect complement to any meal. Whether you're serving it with grilled burgers or chicken, or simply enjoying it on its own, grilled corn is sure to be a hit.
