Instructions
Creating Grilled Corn on the Cob in Foil is a breeze if you follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Corn: Husk the corn and remove all silk. Rinse under cold water to clean.
2. Preheat the Grill: Set your grill to medium heat.
3. Prepare the Foil: Cut four large sheets of aluminum foil, enough to wrap each ear of corn individually.
4. Butter the Corn: Spread a tablespoon of softened butter over each ear of corn. Ensure it’s evenly coated.
5. Season the Corn: Sprinkle salt, pepper, and paprika (if using) over each corn cob.
6. Wrap the Corn: Place each buttered and seasoned corn ear in the center of a foil sheet. Fold the foil over the corn tightly to create a sealed packet.
7. Grill: Place the foil-wrapped corn on the grill and cook for about 20 minutes. Turn the packets halfway through for even cooking.
8. Check for Doneness: Carefully open a packet to check if the corn is tender. If not, reseal and grill for an additional 5 minutes.
9. Unwrap and Serve: Use caution when unwrapping the foil, as steam will escape. Serve hot.
With these simple and clear steps, you can prepare Grilled Corn on the Cob in Foil easily and quickly.
