“But I like charred corn!” I hear you say. Fine. Be that way. You can absolutely grill corn with the husk on too. Soak it, then put it right on the grill for 15 minutes, turning occasionally.
The husk will get a little charred and smokey. The corn inside will taste like a campfire dream. It’s the same “lazy” logic, just with flames.
The point is: the husk is your friend. It’s the ultimate sous-chef that never talks back.
