Step by Step Method
Step 1
Soak the ears of corn in water for at least 30 minutes. Preheat a grill on medium-low to medium heat.
Step 2
Place the ears of corn directly on the grill. If you have a large flame, you may want to stick a tin pan under the corn to avoid direct flame contact, which would char the husk too quickly.
Step 3
Turn corn every 5 minutes or so for about 20 to 25 minutes. The husk should end up nicely browned, a little charring won't hurt it. You can test the doneness by peeling back a husk and checking the crispness of the kernels. They should be firm and juicy.
Step 4
You can leave the corn in the husks until ready to serve, then peel the husks completely, spread with butter and salt and pepper to taste.
