Preparation
Step 1
Method 1: Grilling Corn In The Husk
Step 2
Gently fold back the husk on your cobs (but don’t remove it), and pull out as much of the silk as you can. Gently fold the husks back up after the silk is removed to create your cute little steam tent. Soak your corn if you’re choosing to do so.
Step 3
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-450 degrees F).
Step 4
Place corn with the husks folded up directly on grates and grill for about 20-22 minutes, rotating to ensure even charring around the husk.
Step 5
Corn is done when kernels are soft and bright golden yellow and there are tiny bits of char that sneak through the husk flaps. YUM!
Step 6
Once cooled enough, serve corn by pulling back the husk and using it like a handle OR remove completely. Little pokey corn holders optional.
Step 7
Method 2: Grilling Corn In Foil
Step 8
Completely remove husks and silks from corn. Wrap cobs completely in heavy duty aluminum foil (you can sneak a little butter/olive oil and any other seasoning in there if you like!).
Step 9
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-450 degrees F).
Step 10
Place foiled corn directly on grates. Grill for about 15 minutes, turning occasionally.
Step 11
Corn is done when kernels are soft and bright golden yellow.
Step 12
Method 3: Grilling Corn On The Grates
Step 13
Completely remove husks and silks from corn (don’t worry, any remaining silk bits will burn off).
Step 14
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-450 degrees F).
Step 15
Place cobs directly on grates and grill for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally for even cooking.
Step 16
Corn is done when kernels are bright golden yellow and is evenly charred on all sides.

Chef's notes
Why this method is great:
the prep is pretty easy and it is the perfect blend of moist kernels from the husk-steam, and char flavor from direct grill contact.
Why this method is great:
the corn will stay warmer longer because you can just leave it in the foil until you are ready to serve. Great if you’re serving a big group!
Why this method is great:
the corn cooks more quickly than the other methods and the smoky char flavor is out of this world.
