Description
Grill juicy, smoky corn on the cob using its natural husk as a protective layer. This simple summer method ensures tender kernels and wood-fired flavor without drying out.
Ingredients
Fresh corn on the cob (4 cobs), husk intact
Olive oil spray (1 tbsp)
Coarse salt (to taste)
Instructions
Brush husks with a soft-bristled brush to clean
Lightly coat husks with olive oil spray and sprinkle coarse salt
Place corn on indirect heat zone of grill with lid closed
Flip corn halfway through (1 rotation at 10 minutes) to char 3-4 husk patches
Cook until kernels are tender and husk patches are caramelized
Notes
Use a spray bottle for even oiling without greasy hands
Preheat grill to 350°F for ideally charred husks
Check doneness by peeling back husk slightly to see golden kernels and juice
Loosen husks slightly before grilling for proper expansion
Rotate corn 180° every 5 minutes for even heating
