Grilling corn on the cob is a quintessential summertime activity. There’s nothing quite like the smoky flavor and juicy kernels of freshly grilled corn. If you’re new to grilling corn or want to improve your technique, we’ve got you covered. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to cooking perfect charcoal-grilled corn. So fire up the grill and let’s get cooking!

What You’ll Need

  • 4 ears of fresh corn on the cob
  • 1/4 cup of melted butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Grill tongs
  • Aluminum foil
  • Charcoal grill

Step 1: Preparing the Grill

Start by preparing your charcoal grill. Fill a chimney starter with charcoal and ignite it. Once the charcoal briquettes are lit and covered in white ash, carefully pour them into the bottom of the grill. Spread the charcoal in an even layer.

Step 2: Husking the Corn

While the grill is heating up, remove the husks from the corn. Peel back the husks but leave them attached at the base of the cob. Remove the silk strands, and then fold the husks back up to cover the corn again. This will help protect the corn from direct heat and prevent it from drying out.

Step 3: Seasoning the Corn

Brush each ear of corn with the melted butter, making sure to coat all sides. Sprinkle with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences. You can also experiment with different seasonings like chili powder or garlic powder for added flavor.

Step 4: Wrapping the Corn in Foil

Individually wrap each ear of seasoned corn in aluminum foil. This will help lock in the moisture and ensure even cooking. Make sure the corn is tightly wrapped to prevent any butter or juices from leaking out.

Step 5: Grilling the Corn

Once the grill is hot and the charcoal is covered in ash, place the foil-wrapped corn directly on the grill grates. Close the grill lid and let the corn cook for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally. The husks may char, but that’s perfectly normal.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

Carefully remove the corn from the grill using tongs, and let them cool for a few minutes. Unwrap the foil and reveal the beautifully grilled corn on the cob. Serve hot and enjoy the smoky, juicy goodness. It pairs perfectly with grilled meats or a fresh summer salad.

Grilling corn on the cob doesn’t have to be intimidating. With a few simple steps and some delicious seasonings, you can achieve perfect charcoal-grilled corn every time. So next time you’re hosting a barbecue or craving a taste of summer, try grilling corn on the cob using this guide. Your taste buds will thank you!
