So you get perfectly cooked corn every time grilled corn in foil Recipe. If you’re grilling multiple things at once, this is the method for you. The aluminum foil helps steam the corn and can be placed over indirect heat.

Why cook grilled corn on the cob in foil?

Barbecue season and corn season are a match made in heaven. While we love to grill corn right on the grill grate, sometimes it’s just more convenient to wrap it in foil.

This method of grilling corn steams the corn inside the foil and is a great option if you’re grilling multiple items at the same time (Hust, Hust, our grilled steaks pair perfectly with grilled corn).

We can’t leave you with boring old corn, so we recommend brushing your corn with garlic butter before grilling. Trust us, it’s a taste explosion in your mouth and a fun mix.

What you need for grilled corn

When it comes to foil-wrapped grilled corn, there are a few must-haves we keep on hand for success:

• aluminum foil: We love heavy-duty grilling film because it’s less likely to tear.
• butter: Butter and corn are really two peas in one pod. Use butter. The real stuff.
• Fresh corn on the cob: We recommend always using fresh corn whenever possible. You’ll have to do the dirty work of peeling and peeling, but the freshness is worth it.

How long to grill corn in foil

Preheat your grill to 400°F. Place the foil-wrapped corn over direct flames and broil for about 25 to 30 minutes, turning halfway through, about 15 minutes.

Since you can easily grill other items at the same time, we recommend that you cook your main meal in foil along with the grilled corn so that everything is ready at about the same time.

Short tip: If needed, you can always switch your grilled corn from direct heat to indirect heat to make room for other things. You may need to cook your corn a little longer.
