BBQ Grilled Corn on the Cob

BBQ doesn’t just have to go on your proteins, slather it over your vegetables too! Can’t beat this BBQ grilled corn on the cob.

I say this every year, but my favorite way to cook corn is on the grill, and The Kitchn agrees. Just soak it in water for 30 minutes with the husks still on, throw them on the grill and rotate them until done. There is an extra bit of flavor you get from cooking them this way that you won’t from boiling or baking.

I feel the same way about grilled potatoes. Heck, have you ever tried a smoked potatoes recipe? You may never go back to baked.

That smoky flavor is especially wonderful when paired with some BBQ butter! Simply blend BBQ rub into butter and spread that onto your grilled corn on the cob for a perfectly easy summer side (and don’t forget the corn holders like I did, haha).
