Tips:

Choose the right corn: Select corn on the cob that is fresh, plump, and has tightly packed kernels. Look for cobs with bright green husks and silks that are still attached.
Prepare the corn: Remove the husks and silks from the corn cobs. Rinse the cobs under cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
Season the corn: Brush the corn cobs with melted butter or oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or chili powder, to taste.
Grill the corn: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the corn cobs on the grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the kernels are slightly charred and tender.
Serve the corn: Remove the corn cobs from the grill and let them cool slightly before serving. You can serve the corn on the cob with additional melted butter, salt, and pepper, or with your favorite dipping sauce.
