The time to cook corn on the grill depends on whether you grill it with the husk on or off:
- With husk on: Soak the corn in water for 10 to 60 minutes to prevent burning. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 350-500°F). Grill the corn over indirect heat for about 15 minutes, turning occasionally, then move to direct heat for an additional 3 to 5 minutes to get some char. Total grilling time is approximately 18 to 20 minutes. After grilling, remove husks and silks before serving
- Without husk (shucked): Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Place the corn directly on the grill and cook for about 10 to 15 minutes, turning every couple of minutes until kernels are tender and lightly charred. Avoid overcooking to keep the corn juicy
In summary, grilling corn takes about 10-15 minutes without husks and about 15-20 minutes with husks, including soaking time if used. Turning the corn regularly ensures even cooking and charring
