Grilled Fresh Sweet Corn on the Cob in Husks

I do my corn the same way. There is one little tweak that I have found and that is to brush the corn generously with butter after the corn has soaked. Then put the husks back up and tie. Put them on the grill and the butter really helps the flavor. Nothing like grilled corn on the cob on a summer night in Iowa!

I always add salt to the soaking water.. forces out any bugs

We grill corn like this and love it! There is no other way in our house! The only difference is that we do not remove the silk and we sometimes soak it longer in regular tab water. This way, we put it in the water before company comes and it is ready when it is time to grill. The silk easily comes off after it is grilled. If there is any left over, I put it in the fridge and later microwave it until it is warm. It still tastes fresh!

I grilled these alongside some pork chops and we had a fabulous summertime dinner! Nice, smoky flavor! After peeling back the husks and removing the 'silk' and replacing the husks, I tied the ends with a stripped off piece of husk to keep them closed while grilling. That worked perfectly, I grilled till the outside husks were almost black and the corn was perfect. Thanks Rita.

Very tasty but..I trim the ends, soak in cold water and..leave the silk on as well as the husk for Bbq. Once cooked, the silk and husk literally falls off..easily..soo yummy!!��������������������
