Corn On The Cob With Husk On Grill
Nothing screams summer like a backyard barbecue with family and friends. And what better way to celebrate than with some delicious grilled corn on the cob? But have you ever tried grilling corn with the husk on? If not, you're missing out on a whole world of flavor. In this article, we'll show you how to grill corn on the cob with husk on.
What You'll Need
Before we get started, let's go over what you'll need to make the perfect grilled corn on the cob with husk on:
- 6-8 ears of corn with husks
- Olive oil or butter
- Salt and pepper
- Grilling tongs
- A grill
Preparing the Corn
Start by peeling away the outer layer of the husks, leaving the inner layers intact. Remove the silk from the corn by hand or with a soft-bristled brush. If you have trouble removing the silk, try dampening the corn with water and microwaving it for a minute or two.
Once the silk has been removed, fold the husks back up around the corn. Be sure to leave some of the husk on the end to use as a handle later on.
Grilling the Corn
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush olive oil or butter on each ear of corn, then sprinkle salt and pepper to taste. Place the corn on the grill, with the husk side facing down. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally with your tongs, until the husks are charred and the kernels are tender.
Once the corn is cooked, use the remaining husk as a handle to remove it from the grill. Carefully peel back the husks and discard them, or use them as a natural serving dish for the corn.
Flavor Variations
If you're feeling adventurous, there are plenty of ways to add some extra flavor to your grilled corn on the cob with husk on:
- Brush on some spicy mayo or chipotle butter before grilling
- Sprinkle on some grated Parmesan cheese and chopped herbs after grilling
- Drizzle on some lime juice and sprinkle with chili powder for a Mexican-inspired twist
Conclusion
Grilled corn on the cob with husk on is a simple and delicious way to kick off your summer barbecue season. Whether you keep it simple with just oil, salt, and pepper, or get creative with some extra flavorings, your guests are sure to love this classic summer staple. So fire up the grill and get ready to impress!
