Buttered Grilled Corn on the Cob (3 servings)

How Long to Cook Corn on the Grill

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ears of corn, in husks
  • Butter
  • Paprika
  • Salt

Instructions

  1. Set the grill to high, direct heat. Next, gently remove the silk from the top of the corn and peel off the husks to reveal the cob. Make sure the husks are still attached to the cob. You’ll still have to cover it.
  2. Mix the butter with paprika and salt to taste, then generously smear over the cobs. Next, close the husks back and place the ears on the grill and cover the lid. This allows smoke to penetrate the husks.
  3. Cook for about 7 minutes, turning the sides every minute or two.  Then, uncover the lid and cook for another 7 minutes, turning the sides constantly. You’ll notice grill marks on the husks, with most sides charred.
  4. At the end of the cooking time, take the ears down and cool for about 15 minutes. Then, gently peel off the husks, clean off any extra char and serve as you wish.
