Sweet corn on the cob is one of the few vegetables I can get all the kids to eat. Finding the best way and new way to cook it differently helps to keep this mom from getting bored with the same vegetable multiple times a week. This is one of those few veggies I can get everyone in the house to eat, and we always make extra as well since the kids love it so much.
Once you try this out, you won’t go back to eating corn not grilled, plus you can change up the flavor of the corn on the cob. Now it is not as complicated as you would think to learn how to grill fresh corn on the cob in foil.

Grilled Corn On The Cob In Foil Ingredients:
How To Grill Corn On The Cob In Foil
Fire up your grill, we did ours on a gas grill, but I am sure it would be just as amazing on a charcoal grill, any way will result in the best-grilled corn.
Have the grill at medium-low or medium heat for cooking the corn.
The first step is to remove the outer husks from each ear of corn.
Rub down the corn with the unsalted butter, this helps it not to stick to the tin foil and adds flavor.
Lay the ears of corn on the aluminum foil or hold them over the sink to season corn on the cob with garlic salt, sea salt, or garlic powder.
Roll up the ends of the foil over the corn on the cob, this will result in moist corn.
Place corn on the hot grill grates, I had mine on the upper rack of our grill. Letting the corn cook away from the open flame.
Grill for about 20-30 minutes, I left mine on while our meat was cooking the whole time.
Be sure to flip/roll the corn every so often, one of the easiest method and of most simple methods to cook corn.
Use caution removing the corn on the cob from the foil.
Serve! You can add some more butter if you want as well

It is time to start grilling out and this looks like it will be perfect for our first outdoor meal. Thanks!

I love grilled corn! It gets so caramelized, which I love. My favorite way to season is with a chili-lime butter…just mix butter, chili powder and lime juice! It’s so yummy.

We LOVE grilled corn on the cob! I don’t wrap mine in foil though, I like the kernels a teeny bit charred!
Marye says
Yum! Grilled corn is so good! My dad used to make it that way but he’d soak it then cook it in the husk. Amazing!

These look great, Jenny. I can’t wait for BBQ season to give them a try!
KarenHoward says
Hi Jenny. With Memorial Day approaching I just went & bought some corn too-on sale! I boil mine 1st then freeze it after it cools off a bit; then I thaw it out the day before I am going to go on a BBQ or cookout.( It’s not allowed at my Apt. Bldg.) Then I put butter & top with spices/herbs & rewrap & put into the fridge until I’m ready to pack the cooler. Thanks for sharing yours & have a Wonderful Mother’s Day! & Memorial Day Weekend!
Jenny says
Sounds like a great way to make corn for a cook out!! I would be lost with out being able to grill at home. Love that you find ways around it!
Sandra L Garth says
I am so happy that grilling season is here and this corn looks delicious.

Emily says

kristin says
Grilled corn is always a win.
Terrie Sutton says
would you get the same effect using the oven? if so what temp and time?
Jenny says
I think it would? I am really not sure though I have never done it in the oven. Let me know if you end up trying it!
Betty says
Can you do this in the oven?
Terry Fyffe says
Been fixing it for years with coating with mayonnaise and sprinkling with Tony Chacheres Cajun seasoning for my daughter’s school class they just keep coming back
Pam says
Yum, I used to do this years ago, but for some reason I stopped. (Probably because of the microwave!) The next time we grill, I’m going to do this!
Stephanie 139a says
That looks mouth-wateringly good! Thanks for sharing with #PoCoLo
Royregus Cosby says
Absolutely loved this recipe
Sally says
Another option I’ve done is before I seal up the 2nd end of the foil, drop 1 ice cube in the end then seal the foil. It will steam the corn and mostly evaporate and carnalize the corn. Oh so good.
Jocelyne Gilbert says
I’ve been cooking my corn on the cob like this for a couple of years. Now its the only way. Only difference is I mix my garlic salt and pepper in the butter and I am always generous to add the butter mix to the corn.
Enjoy people!!
