2-3Tablespoonssoftened butter, or olive oil

Instructions
Preheat the grill to medium high heat.
Grilling corn in foil:
Husk the corn and then brush with butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Wrap corn in foil and then place on the grill. Turn every 5-10 minutes. Cook until light browned, about 20-30 minutes. Remove from foil and place directly on the grill the last few minutes if you'd like it more charred.
Grilling corn in husk:
Partially husk the corn and remove the silks. Soak the corn and husks in water for 20 minutes. Place the corn on paper towel to dry. Then brush the corn kernels with a little bit of butter or oil and push the husks over top to help steam the corn. Cook for 15-20 minutes, turning every 5 minutes.
Direct grill corn:
Remove husks and silks. Then brush with a little bit of olive oil and place directly on the grill. Cook for 10 minutes, flipping at 5 minutes.
Remove corn from grill once it is tender and charred to your liking. Add more butter, salt and pepper to taste.
Notes
Variations:
Another way to grill it is to pull down the husk, place the butter inside and then place it back on the grill with the husk.
Make a herb butter with 1/4 cup softened butter, 1 Tablespoon chopped fresh herbs and a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
