Print this recipe
One of the best ways to enjoy corn on the cob is to grill it as in the recipe below. Grilling corn on the cob gives it just enough smoky flavor to somehow perfectly balance out the sweetness of the corn. And all it takes is a minute or two on the grill. That's because this grilled corn recipe comes with a little secret: It's boiled first.
Boiling the corn before throwing it onto the grill ensures that it's going to be completely cooked through and tender and juicy the way corn on the cob should be. Once boiled, you can do whatever you want with it. In this case, that means grilling it.
