1

Shuck 'Em Up

Start by removing the husks and silk from the corn. Peel back the husks one by one, leaving them attached at the base, and rip off the silky threads. If you're feeling adventurous, you can tie the husks together to create a handy little handle.

2

Soak 'Em Up

Fill a large bowl or pot with cold water and soak the shucked corn for about 10 minutes. This will help keep the corn moist and prevent it from drying out on the grill. Plus, the soaking process adds a touch of summer hydration to your cobs!

Fire 'Em Up

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you're using charcoal, make sure the coals are glowing. If you're using a gas grill, heat it up with the lid closed for around 10 minutes. The key is to have a nice, hot grill ready to sear some corn!

Oil 'Em Up

Brush each cob of corn with a little bit of vegetable oil or melted butter. This will help prevent sticking and give your corn a beautiful golden color. Go ahead and give them a shiny makeover, they deserve it!

5

Grill 'Em Up

Place the corn directly on the grill grates and close the lid. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally. You're looking for a nice charred appearance on all sides. Keep an eye on them and make sure they don't get too toasted!

6

Season 'Em Up

Once the corn is off the grill, it's time to sprinkle on your favorite seasonings. You can go classic with salt and pepper, or get creative with garlic powder, paprika, or even a squeeze of lime juice. Don't be shy with the flavors, let your taste buds dance!

Serve 'Em Up

Place the grilled corn on a platter and get ready to impress. Serve them alongside your favorite barbecue dishes and watch as everyone goes corn-razy for your tasty creation. Enjoy the sweet, smoky flavors of summer!
