FAQ

How long does it take to grill corn?

On hot summer days, you can avoid turning on your stove by cooking foil-wrapped corn outside on the grill. Cooking corn in foil requires almost no prep and is the simplest method. The foil traps the steam and corn juices to keep the ears from drying out.

How do you grill corn on the cob with husk and foil?

Remove the husks and eat on the cob or remove the kernels; serve with the BBQ Butter and/or Herb Butter. Place the corn on the grill; close the cover; and grill for 15 to 20 minutes, turning every 5 minutes, or until the kernels are tender when pierced with a paring knife.
