Should I remove the silk before grilling corn?
You don’t have to, but it’s a great idea as it makes it easier to eat afterwards. But you can grill the corn with the husks and silk on.
Should I soak the corn before grilling?
It’s a good idea to soak the corn in the husk before grilling so it won’t burn. About 15 minutes in a bowl of water is fine.
How long does corn stay on the grill?
Usually about 15-20 minutes. With the silks on, it might take more like 30.
How do you know when corn on the husk is done on the grill?
It just needs to be hot and tender to be done, so pull back on a husk and press to see. It might squirt a little liquid out when pressed gently, that means it’s ready to go.
What should I top grilled corn on the cob with?
Butter and salt is always a great option. But we love the idea of adding some herbs and lime in there as well.

- 4 ears of corn, un-husked
- 1 lime, half for the zest & juice, and the rest to garnish

Here’s How To Cook Corn on the Cob with Husks on:
STEP 1:
1. Heat your grill to medium high or high heat. Remove corn silk within the husk as best as you can. You will have to pull back on the green part of the husks and remove a few of the outer pieces.

Place corn still in the husk on the grill, and rotate occasionally until all sides have been charred (takes about 15-30 minutes, depending on your grill). Remove from heat, and let cool for 5-10 minutes.
STEP 3:
While corn is cooling, mix together the Cilantro Lime Butter.
Here’s how to make it:
Cilantro Lime Butter
Mix together:
- 2 Tbs. softened butter
- 1 Tbs. finely chopped cilantro
- Juice and zest of half a lime
