Corn on the Cob on the Grill

If there is one food that reminds me of summer it’s grilled corn on the cob! Wisconsin and Minnesota are large sweet corn suppliers and I’ve been eating corn since I could chew. Grilled corn on the cob is by far the best way to make corn because it comes out so juicy with a hint of char. Today we’re teaching you how to grill corn on the cob both in the husk and already shucked. Both ways are great options and best served with butter, salt, and pepper!

Is it better to grill corn in the husk or without?

There is no right or wrong answer here and we love both options. By grilling the corn in the husk you are essentially steaming it and the corn cooks more evenly. But, if you grill it without the husk, it’s faster because you don’t have to soak it, and takes less time to cook on the grill. Whichever way you prefer to grill corn, it will turn out amazing!

Featured Ingredients

Sweet Corn: this recipe calls for 4 ears of sweet corn. Feel free to buy corn that’s in the husk (it’s cheaper this way) or shucked. Either yellow or white corn works, too. Easy to Make Healthy Kid-Friendly Butter: corn on the cob isn’t corn on the cob without a pad of butter! Do it up. Salt and Pepper: salt and pepper are like the cherry on top. As always, to taste.

Grilling Corn Top Tips

In the Husk: Grilling the corn in the husk steams the corn and then grills it. There are fewer grill marks and some think it gives the corn a crunchier bite. Be careful not to over-cook the corn in the husk or else it will oversteam and turn mushy. Without the Husk: Grilling the corn without a husk gives you a little bit of a quicker grill with substantially more grill marks. How to Get Grill Marks: If you’re looking for those epic grill marks, make sure that you’re grilling your corn over direct heat.
