- Soak the corn: Soaking the corn in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling helps to prevent the kernels from drying out.

- Brush the corn with oil: Brushing the corn with oil before grilling helps to prevent it from sticking to the grill grates.
- Grill the corn for 10-12 minutes: Cook the corn for 10-12 minutes, turning it every few minutes, until the kernels are tender and slightly charred.
