I took of the husk for a while and went back to my old husky ways. Keeps in more moisture and does a fantastic job on the bbq. I’ve been using this guys method for a couple of years now and it just works.

With the husk on soak it in water before grilling it. I stopped removing the silk as well, it's easier to remove after it's cooked and adds more flavor.

Dehusk. Salt, pepper, butter, and adobo. Wrap in tinfoil and throw on the grill. Amazing corn every time. As long as you wrap it properly the juices stay in.

I like the smoky flavour you get as the outer leaves of the husk char

Ahh, I always put mine on the top warmer rack while everything else cooks. I will have to leave some in the husk closer to the heat next time.

Yep. Delicious. Only way I do corn. (Except maybe also in the husk, but can’t get butter in there unless you deconstruct first.)

Add Queso Fresco and a bit of lime from the finishing touch.

The point is to get the husk off easier by cooking it. Trust me. No need to soak it or shuck it then rewrap it. Just corn + heat = easy to shuck.

No! Grill with husk on, no worries of anything at all. Good corn every time
