Corn On The Cob On The Grill | With Husks
Grill Corn in Husk 🔗
Perfectly simple and delicious way to cook fresh corn in the summer and all year long. Once you start to grill corn in husk, you’ll never cook fresh corn a different way again!
Ingredients:
- Corn Ears in husk!
- Butter
- Salt & Pepper
Instruction:
- Keep your corn ears in husk – don’t do a thing! Fill your sink with water and soak your corn for about 15 minutes before you’re ready to grill. While soaking, cut off the top silks and pull off the outer most layers of the husk. These are the parts of the corn that can sometimes get a little more burnt or catch fire, so it’s easier to just remove them.
- Grill your corn for about 20 minutes, turning every 5. When it’s good and “grilled”, take your corn off the grill and watch the silks and husk slide right off!
- Adorn with butter and salt & pepper for the most delicious corn you’ve ever tried!
FAQ
How long does it take to grill corn on the cob in a husk?

Is it better to grill corn with the husk on or off?
With the husks on! As opposed to grilling corn that has been raw, boiled, or blanched, keeping the husks on the corn cobs shields it from the heat of the grill and aids in steaming it into tenderness.
Do you have to soak corn before grilling in husk?
No, corn on the cob does not need to be soaked before grilling; however, if you are grilling corn in the husk, it is a good idea to soak your corn to prevent burning or catching fire.
