Kick off your summer BBQ with the ultimate corn on the cob on the grill, featuring charred kernels, sweet tender bites, and a sensational spicy garlic butter glaze!
Ingredients for Corn on the Cob on the Grill
- 6 ears fresh corn, husks removed
- 2 tablespoons cooking spray
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
- Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
- Chopped cilantro or parsley for garnish (optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prep the Grill: Preheat your outdoor grill to medium heat and lightly coat the grates with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Make Spicy Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.
- Coat the Corn: Brush each ear of corn generously with cooking spray. Then spread the spicy garlic butter all over, ensuring even coverage.
- Grill to Perfection: Place the corn directly on the grill. Cook for about 10–12 minutes, turning every 2–3 minutes until kernels are tender and lightly charred.
- Finish and Serve: Remove the corn from the grill, brush with any remaining spicy garlic butter, and garnish with chopped cilantro for a burst of freshness.
Tips for BBQ Success
- Soak or Remove Husks? Husk removal gives direct char; soaking husks gives smoky steam. Choose your style!
- Even Cooking: Turn frequently to avoid burnt spots and achieve uniform char.
- Flavor Variations: Swap red pepper flakes for smoked paprika or chili powder for a different kick.
Serve this sensational side at your next cookout, and let everyone savor the best corn on the cob on the grill.
