Ingredients
- 4 ears of corn
- Oil, for grates
- 1 tablespoon butter, cut into 4 pats
- Coarse salt and ground pepper
- Chili powder or paprika
Directions
-
Peel back husks, leaving them attached at the base of the ear. Remove and discard silk; pull husks back over corn. Place ears in a large bowl or pot; cover with cold water. Let soak 10 minutes.
-
Preheat grill to high; lightly oil grates. Drain corn. Arrange ears on grill. Cover and cook, turning occasionally, using tongs, until husks are slightly charred and corn is tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove ears from grill. Holding bottom of hot ears with a towel, peel back husks and, with a knife, coat kernels with butter. Season corn with salt, pepper, and chili powder or paprika. Serve.
Amazing Corn, I am just so fond of corn. It’s good to have a corn and even a healthy food.

My huasband and I just devoured all 4 ears that we grilled along with grilled chicken breasts and grilled mushrooms & onions. Delicious way to keep the kitchen cool on a hot summer evening! Definitely worth the hassle of removing the silks and soaking!
Awesome! I can't wait to try it. I have only had grilled corn once and was not impressed with the texture. But, this looks like it will cook up well.
I agree with "Apple33": the best way to make corn on the cob!

It's a bit time consuming to take off all the silk and pull the husks back up but this is the best corn on the cob you'll ever taste! I eat mine plain - no butter or spices.
