Grilled Corn on the Cob
Happy almost-fourth of July!
After traveling through Europe for nearly a month, Jack and I are ready to celebrate the USA by, well, sleeping and probably sleeping some more. We don’t have any big weekend plans, but we’ll probably be firing up the grill at least once or twice, especially to make this creamy & spicy grilled corn on the cob. Corn isn’t exactly a… featured ingredient in France, Norway, or Denmark. It’s good to be home.

How to Grill Corn on the Cob

Making grilled corn on the cob is easy, especially if you already have your grill going for burgers or hot dogs. Just follow these simple steps:
  1. Pull back the husks and remove the silks from each ear of corn. You can either remove the husks entirely or tie them back like I did for extra-pretty cobs.
  2. Preheat your grill. Make sure it’s nice and hot before you put your corn on!
  3. Place the corn on the grill, rotating every few minutes until the corn is tender and char marks form on all sides.
  4. Remove corn from the grill, dress it up with chile-lime sauce or butter and salt, and dig in!
