Easy and Delicious Grilled Corn

This grilled corn is the perfect summer time food! You can make a bunch at time to feed a crowd and the mess stays outside.

Let me tell you the story about how I learned about grilled corn. I’m at the grocery store picking out ears of corn and this gentleman walks up to me and just starts telling me how to grill the corn. Inside I’m thinking, “Thanks for the unsolicited advice.” But I let him talk and tell me his story about feeding bikers and it ended up being great advice! Thanks unknown person! Has this every happened to you? And now I’m passing it on to you.

I do love that this is customizable to how many people you need to feed. But if you have leftovers, that is great! After the corn cools, cut off the kernels and put them in a freezer bag and freeze. Perfect for taco night.

An ear of corn with the top cut off

Just snip off the tops of the corn and any fly-away husks you might have. They will just catch on fire. Preheat grill to medium.

Water running into an ear of corn

Peel back the top a bit and pour in some water. Then close it back up and throw it on the grill. The water helps the kernels steam and keep from burning.

Close the lid on the grill and leave the corn on there for 15 min.

Several ears grilled corn

Grill the corn for another fifteen minutes, for thirty minutes total. Take them off and let them cool enough to handle. I like to drag a garbage can at this point to put the burn husks in. It is a bit messy but at least it is outside. Pull off all the husks off and serve!
