Ingredients

  • Corn on the cob, shucked
  • 1/2 cup of salt
  • 1/2 cup of sugar
  • Butter, softened

Directions

  1. To keep the corn from getting tough on the grill, first brine the corn.  Use 1/2 cup of salt and 1/2 cup of sugar per gallon of water for the brine.  Brine at least 30 minutes, but no more that 6 to 8 hours.
  2. Clean and preheat grill
  3. Place ears of corn on the grill and cover.  Rotate corn every 2 minutes such that it cooks evenly all the way around.  The corn will take 10 to 15 minutes to fully cook.  
  4. Remove ears of corn from grill as they finish cooking.  Brush with butter while hot.  Serve promptly or tent with foil to retain heat as necessary.
