Ingredients

  • 4 ears fresh corn husked
  • olive oil for coating
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons dry rub homemade or store-bought

Instructions

  • Husk the corn and remove the silks.
  • Meanwhile, lightly coat the grill rack with oil and heat to medium-high (400 to 450 degrees).
  • Place the cobs in a shallow dish and coat with olive oil on all sides. Then, sprinkle the dry rub over the top, coating all sides.
  • Wrap each corn cob individually in a sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Place a pat of butter in each. Loosely wrap the foil around the corn, leaving space between the cob and the foil. Seal the edges securely.
  • Place the foil-wrapped ears of corn on the grill with the sealed edge up. Close the grill and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, turning frequently.
  • Open the packets carefully to let the steam release. Garnish as desired as and serve!
