Grilled Corn on the Cob Recipes


  • Author: Lina Quinn

Description

Okay, so you’ve probably had boiled corn a million times, but grilled corn? That’s where the magic happens. Something about that fire and smoke transforms boring old corn into this sweet, smoky, slightly charred piece of heaven. I’m talking about corn that actually has FLAVOR – not just bland kernels swimming in butter. Once you try grilled corn, you’ll never go back to that mushy boiled stuff again.


Ingredients

 

For Perfect Grilled Corn:

  • Fresh corn on the cob (as many ears as you want – I usually do 1-2 per person)
  • Your grill (gas or charcoal both work great)
  • Some kind of fat (butter, olive oil, mayo – yeah, mayo!)
  • Salt (the good flaky stuff if you have it)
  • Whatever seasonings make your heart happy

Pro Shopping Tips:

  • Look for corn with bright green husks that aren’t dried out
  • The silk should be golden, not brown or black
  • Give it a gentle squeeze – you should feel plump kernels
  • Don’t shuck it at the store (those husks protect the kernels)
  • Buy it the day you plan to grill it if possible
