Corn on the BBQ

I really love corn and lately we've been making it like crazy which is fine with me! I don't mind having just regular boiled corn but if I have time I like cooking my corn on the BBQ WAY more. This is the method I use which is easy and delicious.

First I soak the corn for about 15 min in water. This is done so that all the leaves get wet and don't totally burn on the BBQ. If you don't have 15 min then you can always peel back the leaves and wet them as you go.

Second I peel back the leaves but I don't break them off. Do take the strings off though.


After thats done I brush butter on the corn. You can do just butter but I like to mix rosemary, thyme, salt and pepper into the butter and then brush it on. You can put on as much or as little as you'd like. 


When that is done put the leaves back up and tie them in place with a string. Make sure to soak the string too otherwise it'll burn right off.


My BBQ gets pretty hot so I usually put them on for about 15-20min at 500f. I flip them after 10 and rotate the ones in the back of my BBQ to the front. If you know your BBQ as well as I do, you will want to do the same if your BBQ is hotter in the back.

You'll know they're done when the kernels are a golden yellow. Completely shuck your corn and eat away!

Here is the corn I made last night. Instead of string I used some of the leaves that fell of to tie the corn shut.

I really like doing it this way because not only can you add anything to your butter but the leaves of the corn actually add a really good flavor. If you have tried this or are going to, let me know what kind of butter you make!
