  • Place 4 corn on the cob on a long sheet of aluminum foil. The foil needs to be long enough to fully wrap the corn, so make sure it’s a nice, long piece. Slather the corn with your garlic butter sauce. Give it a nice coating!

Notes

  1. When It's time to remove the corn from the grill and foil, please be very careful.  You must always be careful with this step as the corn will be hot and steamy.
  2. Try using our garlic butter sauce recipe using minced garlic and parsley.
