Grilled Corn On The Cob Recipe No Husk
Grilled corn on the cob is one of the most popular dishes during summer months in the United States. Nothing beats the sweetness and smokiness of corn on a grill. However, shucking the corn can be an inconvenient step for many cooks. In this recipe, we will show you how to grill corn on the cob without husking them, making it a breeze to prepare this delicious dish.
Ingredients:
- 6-8 ears of corn, unshucked
- 1/2 cup of butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped fresh herbs (optional)
Instructions:
- Soak the unshucked corn in water for 10-15 minutes. This will prevent the corn from burning on the grill.
- While the corn is soaking, prepare the butter mixture. In a small saucepan, melt the butter and add salt, pepper, and any herbs you like. We recommend using chopped cilantro, thyme, or rosemary.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Remove the corn from the water and shake off the excess water. Place the corn on the grill and close the lid.
- Grill the corn for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally. You will know the corn is ready when the outer husk is charred and the kernels are tender.
- Remove the corn from the grill and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Carefully peel back the husk and remove the silk. Be careful as the corn will be hot.
- Brush the butter mixture onto the corn, ensuring that each ear is coated evenly.
- Return the corn to the grill and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes, turning occasionally. The corn should be golden brown and slightly charred.
- Remove the corn from the grill and let it cool for a few more minutes before serving. Enjoy!
Tips:
- If you want to add a smoky flavor to your corn, you can place a couple of soaked wood chips onto your grill before cooking.
- If you like your corn with a little kick, you can add some chili powder or cayenne pepper to your butter mixture.
- Do not overcook the corn as it will become tough and chewy. Keep an eye on it and remove it from the grill as soon as it's done.
- If you have any leftover butter mixture, you can use it as a spread for bread or to top other grilled vegetables.
Conclusion:
Grilled corn on the cob is a simple and delicious dish that is perfect for summertime cookouts.
