Grilling corn on the cob typically takes about 10 to 15 minutes, depending on whether you grill it with or without the husks.
- Without husks (shucked corn): Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and place the corn directly on the grates. Turn every few minutes to get even char and cook for about 10 to 15 minutes until the kernels are tender and have some charred bits
- With husks on: Peel back the husks, remove the silk, then pull the husks back over the corn and soak in water for about 10-20 minutes to prevent burning. Grill the corn with husks on over medium-high heat, turning every few minutes, for about 15 to 22 minutes until the husks are charred and the corn is cooked through
In both methods, the corn is done when kernels are tender and juicy. After grilling, you can brush with butter and season with salt or other spices before serving
. Summary:
- Shucked corn: 10–15 minutes, turning frequently
- Corn in husks: 15–22 minutes, turning frequently after soaking husks
This timing ensures the corn is cooked through, juicy, and has a nice grilled flavor without drying out
