Ingredients

  • 4 ears corn husks and silk removed
  • ½ cup melted butter
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 350-375 degrees F).
  • Prep the corn. Lay a large (24-inch long) piece of foil on your work surface. Lay another large piece of foil on top, perpendicular to the first. Place your corn in the center of the foil and drizzle with the melted butter. Roll the corn to coat each cob in butter and season with salt and pepper.
  • Seal the foil. Wrap the edges of the top piece of foil up and seal tightly. Repeat with the bottom layer of foil to create an airtight seal.
  • Grill. Set the package of corn on the grill grates, close the lid, and cook for 8-10 minutes. Use heat-resistant grill gloves to flip the foil pouch over on the grill. Close the lid and cook for an additional 8-10 minutes.
  • Enjoy. Remove the foil pouch to a baking sheet and allow the corn to steam in the package for 5 minutes before carefully opening (watch for hot steam escaping) and serve with additional butter and salt and pepper.
