There aren’t many things better than fresh corn on the cob foil grilled to perfection! It’s one of the highlights of the summertime. Grilled corn is the perfect side dish for barbecue, grilled grouper, burgers, or just about anything!

Grilling corn is my favorite way to cook it, although I have been known to boil corn on the cob when our south Georgia summers get too blazing hot. Whenever possible I prefer to grill it though. It allows it to cook with the butter and seasonings and it is just so darn delicious!

How to Grill Corn on the Cob in Foil

This is a super easy recipe, it’s almost hard to call it an actual recipe, more of a method!

1. Lay out an approximately 18″ pieces of foil for each cob of corn you plan on grilling. I stack them and work on the top, one at a time.
2. Shuck the corn and remove all the silk.
3. Lay the corn on the foil and rub with a stick of butter to coat. I usually butter the entire cob then season one side at a time.
4. Season sprinkling liberally with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
5. Wrap the corn in foil by loosely rolling it in the foil, then tightly sealing the ends to allow it to steam inside the foil packet.
6. Grill over high heat for ten minutes, turning once.

If you are grilling meat at the same time you are grilling your corn you can easily move the corn in foil to the top rack of your grill so that you can grill the meat on the bottom rack. You may need to extend the grilling time to 15 minutes since it is farther from the heat.
