FAQ:
Can I grill corn with the husks on?
Yes, grilling corn with the husks on helps steam the kernels and gives a different texture. Soak the corn in water before grilling to prevent burning.
How do I know when the corn is done?
The kernels should be tender and slightly browned or charred in spots. The corn will smell sweet and smoky when ready.
Can I prepare this on a stovetop?
Yes, you can grill corn on a stovetop grill pan or roast it in the oven, though the smoky flavor may be less intense.
