Step 1: Preheat the Grill. Clean your grill grates and preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Ensuring the grill is hot before adding the corn is essential for getting those perfect sear marks without overcooking the inside.
Step 2: Prepare and Season the Corn. While the grill is heating up, remove all husks and silk from the corn. Brush each ear generously with the melted butter. Sprinkle the salt and pepper evenly over the kernels so every bite is seasoned.
Step 3: Grill the Corn. Place the corn ears directly onto the hot grill grates. Close the lid and cook for about 12 to 15 minutes. Use tongs to turn the corn every 3 to 4 minutes so that it browns evenly on all sides.
Step 4: Garnish and Serve. Once the corn is tender and has charred spots, remove it from the grill. Brush with a little extra butter if desired, sprinkle with fresh herbs, and serve immediately while hot.
