Corn Wrapped In Foil On The Grill
Summer is here, and that means it's time to fire up the grill. While burgers and hot dogs are classic BBQ fare, don't forget about one of the tastiest and easiest side dishes - corn on the cob. And, if you really want to take it up a notch, try wrapping your corn in foil before grilling it. Not only does it make for a delicious and juicy corn, but it's also a fun and easy way to prepare this summer staple. In this article, we'll show you how to make the perfect corn wrapped in foil on the grill.
Ingredients:
- 4 ears of corn
- 4 tablespoons of butter
- 4 teaspoons of salt
- 4 sheets of aluminum foil (12-inch square)
Instructions:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Remove the husks and silk from each ear of corn.
- Place one ear of corn on each sheet of foil.
- Spread one tablespoon of butter on each ear of corn.
- Sprinkle one teaspoon of salt on each ear of corn.
- Wrap each ear of corn tightly in foil.
- Place the foiled ears of corn on the grill and cook for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally.
- Carefully remove the foil from the corn and serve hot.
That's it - your corn wrapped in foil on the grill is ready to enjoy. The foil keeps the corn juicy and helps it cook evenly, while the butter and salt add delicious flavor. Plus, the foil makes for easy clean-up - just toss it in the trash when you're done. You can also experiment with toppings, like grated cheese or fresh herbs, to add even more flavor to your corn.
Tips:
- If you like your corn with a little char, you can leave it on the grill for a few extra minutes.
- If you're short on time, you can microwave the foiled corn for 5-6 minutes instead of grilling it.
- For a fun twist, try adding other ingredients to the foil packet - like chopped onions or peppers - to create a flavorful and easy veggie side dish.
- Don't forget to let the corn cool for a few minutes before removing the foil - it will be very hot!
