Check out my herbed butter Mixed-Herb Compound Butter for Veggies or Meat or Roasted Garlic, Herb Butter to brush on the corn. Prep time includes soaking time which is done in ice water to keep the sugars in the fresh corn from turning into starch.

This was a really great recipe but for some reason the corn took so long to take on the grill. Followed as directed but it took over 1/2 hour to grill the corn. Not sure how that happened. The corn tasted great but wasn't able to be served with the meal as planned.

I gave this recipe 4 stars. My family really liked corn done this way. I thought it was great best of all no need to peel until ready to eat! I found a recipe in Woman's World magazine it was a bit different but along the same lines. The directions say to soak the corn in the husks in covered water for 20 minutes. Then drain and shake off excess water and grill for 15 minutes flipping every 5 minutes. I grilled mine on my Coleman portable grill on low for 20-25 minutes. Then serve. Overall this is my favorite to serve corn now! Thanks for posting a awesome recipe! Christine (internetnut)

I grilled these alongside some pork chops and we had a fabulous summertime dinner! Nice, smoky flavor! After peeling back the husks and removing the 'silk' and replacing the husks, I tied the ends with a stripped off piece of husk to keep them closed while grilling. That worked perfectly, I grilled till the outside husks were almost black and the corn was perfect. Thanks Rita.

We grill corn like this and love it! There is no other way in our house! The only difference is that we do not remove the silk and we sometimes soak it longer in regular tab water. This way, we put it in the water before company comes and it is ready when it is time to grill. The silk easily comes off after it is grilled. If there is any left over, I put it in the fridge and later microwave it until it is warm. It still tastes fresh!
