Grilled corn on the cob is a traditional summer favorite and a great addition to any barbeque. But if you mess it up and serve up a bunch of dry, tasteless corn cobs you'll have a whole lot of unhappy guests on your hands.
But have no fear. You're about to learn a simple method of grilling corn on the cob that will have your friends saying, "Forget the burgers and ribs...pass me the corn!
The secret to grilling corn on the cob is to boil it in sugar water before placing it on the grill. This will make your corn sweet and tender. It also reduces grilling time which makes burning less likely.
Here's what you need to do step by step:
Put your corn in a big pot of water and pour in a bit of sugar. Turn the heat on high and bring it to a boil. Let it boil for about 7 to 10 minutes. You can use a fork to poke at the cobs until they reach the tenderness you like. When they're done remove them from the heat and use tongs to safely take them out of the water. Dry them off carefully without burning yourself.
They're now cooked through and you can eat them as is if you like, but I prefer grilling corn on the cob to give it even more flavor. Just place them on the grill over medium heat and baste them with a little butter, salt, and black pepper. Let them grill until the kernels start to brown and then remove them.
Add a little more butter while they're still hot and you'll have the most delicious corn on the cob you've ever tasted!
