Nothing says summer like grilling and corn on the cob. This Grilled Corn In Husk has a creamy BBQ coffee seasoned butter that is the essence of summer flavors. The butter sauce combines the punch of coffee, grilled bbq flavors, and a pinch of heat.

Why not try something new when it’s time to cook your corn on the cob? Grilling corn is easy and creates a flavor all it’s own. To get the corn ready for the grill just pull off any dried out pieces of husk. Run the whole cob, husk and all under some water just to get them all wet. This will help prevent burning the husk off and create a steamed smoky flavor.

Is it better to grill corn in the husk?

If you want to grill your corn it is best to leave the husks. This protects the corn kernels from direct exposure to the heat of the grill. This will also prevent drying out and yield steamed tender corn on the cob.

How do you grill corn in the husk?

Heat grill on high until hot.
Pull off any bad corn husks and discard. Soak husk and cobs, in water for a few 30 minutes before grilling. This adds moisture to the husks, softening them and reduces the chance of burning too much.
Place the corn directly on the grill. Cover and grill for 15 to 20 minutes or until the husks are charred on all sides, turning every few minutes

Now don’t freak out! You didn’t burn the corn. When you pull it off the grill and it looks black and chared like these in the picture do. It’s all part of the process.

When you pull back the husk you will discover a golden slightly charred ear of corn that is ready for seasoning. I have found it easier to clean up to remove the husks outside. It can get quite messy with the little charred pieces of husks.

Next, slather on some BBQ Coffee Dry Rub seasoned butter to create a delicious and unique sauce to complement your grilled corn. Be sure and print the recipe for my BBQ Coffee Dry Rub Seasoning, it’s the perfect dry rub for grilled meats and vegetables. I like to make this sauce vegan by substituting the butter for coconut oil.

Grilled corn is also great with BBQ sauce drizzled all over it just before serving.
