Summer is in full force around here which means lots of family dinners on the back patio and some delicious BBQ meals! It has been really hot this summer, so the more that I can avoid turning on the oven, the better. Our back patio is east facing, so by the time dinner time rolls around, it is the perfect place to have a drink, relax, and do a little barbecuing!
During the summer, we probably eat corn on the cob at least 2-3 times per week and this garlic butter BBQ corn on the cob recipe is one of my favorite ways to prepare it. It’s super easy to prepare and can just be thrown on the grill with whatever else you are grilling up!
- 2 cloves garlic
- ½ stick {1/4 cup} melted butter
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1 tsp. ground cumin {optional}
- 4 ears of husked fresh corn
- salt and pepper to taste
- Mince the garlic and combine with the melted butter, and honey {and cumin if you are adding this}.
- Brush off any silk on the cobs and brush a thick layer of the butter mixture onto each cob. Place the corn in a plastic bag and let it marinate for an hour {you can skip the marinate time if you are in a hurry}.
- Preheat a gas grill to high heat.
- Remove the corn from the bag, season each cob with salt and pepper and wrap in aluminum foil to make four grill packets.
- Place the packets on the grill and close the lid. Grill for approximately 15-20 minutes {the fresher the corn the less grill time needed}, turning the packets every 5 minutes or so. The corn is done when it feels soft when pricked with a toothpick.
This makes a delicious, sweet corn that is perfect for any meal.
If you prefer your corn a little bit crisper, you can place the cob directly on the grill {without the aluminum foil} for about 5 minutes until lightly charred {you will need to turn it a couple of times} and then brush on the butter mixture and seasoning once it has been grilled.
Whenever there is corn on the cob, you better make sure you have a good supply of napkins on hand! These RENOVA 2-ply extra soft napkins were perfect for all of the messy fingers and were just the right color for our navy and yellow color scheme!
