HOW TO MAKE GRILLED BBQ CORN ON THE COB

Follow this simple recipe and experience the deliciousness of grilled corn smothered in our succulent easy BBQ sauce.

To make the easy BBQ sauce:

Simply place all of the ingredients in a medium sized bowl and mix together until well combined. Be sure to keep the sauce in the fridge until needed.

To prepare the grilled corn:

Step 1

Place the corn cobs on a hot BBQ (husks and silks attached). Allow it to cook for about 5 minutes at first, then keep turning the corn regularly, to ensure an even cook.

Step 2

After 10-15 minutes, remove the corn from the BBQ and allow it to cool for a couple of minutes.

Step 3

Peel off the husks and the silks once the corn is cool enough to handle. Then return the corn onto the BBQ and cook it for another couple of minutes. Remove from the heat onto a large plate.

Step 4

Finally, brush the corn with your freshly made BBQ sauce and enjoy!
