Corn on the Cob BBQ Style

Yes, you can BBQ corn on the cob! I'm sure this is nothing new to most people, but we just started doing this at our house. And Oh.My.Goodness! It is the ONLY way to make corn. It's super easy too.

We use Sweet White Corn. First you'll want to peel off the excess husks, but leave a little bit on because you'll need it to protect the corn from the BBQ flames. Peel it back far enough to remove the silkies, then run water over it to rinse it off...pull the husks back up and run some more water over it until it's soaked.


Then just BBQ it on low heat for about 20 mins. You might want to check it every so often though...just in case one of the husks decides to catch on fire thus catching the entire cob on fire and almost ruining your dinner let alone almost burning down the backyard. Not that it has ever happened to us or anything. ha!




So that's it! Pretty simple, but OH so good!

I did not know how to make it, but I have had it and it is delicious. We have a farmers market in town and every time I go I have the BBq corn. I would not have known to wet the husk. Just like a TV commercial, know I am going to have to make some...YUM!
