Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup salt
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 clove garlic

Directions:

  1. For perfect corn, before soaking, peel back the husk enough to remove most of the silk.
  2. This will prevent the silk from sticking to the corn during the cooking process.
  3. Roll the husks back up and soak the corn for about an hour in a pot of cold water that is seasoned with a half cup each of sugar and salt.
  4. This will add a lot of flavor to the roasted corn.
  5. For even more flavorful corn, try this technique after soaking: Brush the corn with a mixture of one tablespoon olive oil, two cloves of minced garlic and two tablespoons of fresh-squeezed lemon juice.
  6. Roll the husks back up and throw the corn on the grill for about 20 to 30 minutes.
  7. Another corn-seasoning tip is to squeeze fresh lime juice over the corn and sprinkle it with chili powder and black pepper.
  8. For another butter variety, make chili butter to top the corn by mixing one tablespoon of melted butter with a clove of minced garlic and a teaspoon of chili powder.
