The Best Way to Grill Corn + Two Slathering Butters to Choose From: Herbal Jalapeño-Lime-Cheddar AND Mango-Parsley-Hot Honey
Pro Tips on How to Grill Corn on the BBQ:
- Unhusked:
This recipe uses this method - The husk and silk are removed, corn ears are brushed with EVOO and sprinkled with sea salt – grilled at 375 degrees – turning frequently until charred in spots, but not dry (will stay juicy inside)
- Cooked with Silks Removed In The Husk:
- Imparts smoky flavor and stays very moist
- No darkening of corn, but great flavor
- In its husk keeps the corn kernels pump and juicy, while imparting a gentle smokey essence.
