How to BBQ Corn on the Cob

2
Preheat BBQ to medium-high, 200°C (400°F).

Pro Tips
- Leave husks on and soak in water for steamed corn with smoky flavour (20 min cook time).
- For charred Mexican-style corn (elote), grill husked and slather with mayo, chilli, lime, and cheese.
- Corn is done when kernels are tender and slightly charred.
Resting Time
Rest for 2 minutes after removing from the BBQ. This allows juices to redistribute for a juicier result.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long to BBQ corn on the cob?
10–15 minutes husked, 15–20 minutes in husk, at 200°C.
Should I remove the husk before BBQing?
Both ways work. Husked gives charred flavour. In-husk steams for tender, sweet corn.
