Grilled Corn on the Cob

By , About.com Guide

Grilling corn on the cob adds the most spectacular sweet and smoky flavor to this quintessential vegetable of summer.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 0 hour, 5 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 8 ears corn on the cob

Preparation:

Carefully peel back husks from corn, leaving them attached at the base. Remove silk from corn and discard. Smooth husks back over corn and tie with a piece of string to keep closed. Soak corn in cold water for 1 hour. When ready to grill, drain corn, shaking and squeezing off excess water. Place on grill 4-6" from medium high coals and grill for 15-25 minutes until corn is tender. Turn corn frequently while cooking. Remove string and peel back husks to serve. 8 servings

Note: adding salt to the water for soaking the corn can make the kernels tough.
