This is so delicious, and is just perfect for any barbecue that your are having. You can substitute Barbecue sauce for the cheese and butter for a different flavor. Another different flavor is substituting Sun-Dried tomato and Oregano Dressing for the cheese and parsley. You can remove the hot foil-wrapped corn from the barbecue and stack on a platter and let the guests select and, de-foil and butter, their ear of corn when they desire. This will help the corn to stay warm longer.

  • Soak the corn in water: This helps to keep the corn moist and flavorful. Soak the corn for at least 30 minutes before grilling.
  • Season the corn: Brush the corn with melted butter, salt, and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or chili powder.
  • Grill the corn over medium-high heat: This will help to create a nice char on the outside of the corn. Grill the corn for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally.
  • Serve the corn immediately: Corn on the cob is best served hot off the grill. You can serve it with butter, salt, and pepper, or with your favorite dipping sauce.
