How To Grill Corn On The Cob

Grilling corn is the easiest method of all—there’s almost zero prep. Just fire up the grill, shuck your corn, and place it over the heat.

  1. Start your grill. Get some coals going or turn a gas grill to medium heat.

  2. Shuck the corn. Remove the husks and corn silks completely. You can leave a little bit of the stalk at the base of the corn–this gives you a convenient handle to use while grilling and eating the corn.

  3. Place corn on the grill. Use tongs to lay your shucked corn on the grill.

  4. Grill! Cover for about 15 minutes, turning the corn every five minutes.

  5. Done! The corn is done when the kernels are tender and juicy.

  6. Cool! Let the corn cool a bit and then let everyone feast!
