Tips and Tricks
Here are a few tips and tricks to help you make the perfect BBQ corn on the cob:- If you don't have fresh cilantro, you can substitute dried cilantro or another herb, such as parsley or oregano.
- If you prefer your corn to be less charred, you can wrap it in an extra layer of aluminum foil before placing it on the grill.
- If you want to add a little spice to your corn, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder to the butter mixture.
- If you're short on time, you can skip the grilling step and simply bake the foil-wrapped corn in the oven at 375°F for 20-25 minutes.
