Prepare The Grill 


Grill the Corn

  • Place the corn on the grill, husks side down.
  • Grill for 10 minutes on each side.
  • Pull back the corn husks and brush the corn with oil. Note: The corn husks can be removed completely at this stage, or you can use them as a handy handle.

 

Char the Corn

Freeze the Corn

  • Cut the corn off the cob with a sharp knife. Remove moisture with a paper towel.
  • Place 2-3 cups in a freezer-safe container.
  • Mark the date and how many cups of corn the container holds.

 

Storing Frozen Corn

  • Corn can be frozen up to 6 months.
  • Thaw corn in the refrigerator overnight or in a bowl of warm water.
  • Frozen corn can be directly into casseroles, salsas, and dips.


Notes:

  • Cowboy Hardwood Lump Charcoal or Briquets can be used in this recipe.
  • If you enjoy a smoky flavor, add Cowboy Hickory Smoking Wood Chunks or Smoking Wood Chips.
  • When corn is on sale, stock up and double or triple this recipe!
