  • Soak the corn before grilling: This will help to prevent the kernels from drying out. Soak the corn in cold water for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat: This will help to get a nice char on the corn.
  • Brush the corn with oil: This will help to prevent the corn from sticking to the grill grates.
  • Grill the corn for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally: The corn is done when the kernels are tender and slightly charred.
  • Serve the corn immediately with your favorite toppings: Some popular options include butter, salt, pepper, cheese, and lime juice.
