Print Recipe

This easy summer BBQ recipe features juicy grilled corn on the cob infused with fresh lemon juice and herbs, cooked in foil packets for tender, flavorful results.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ears fresh corn on the cob, husked and cleaned
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • Juice of 1 large lemon (about 2 tablespoons)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (parsley, thyme, and chives), finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, adjust to taste
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill to medium heat, about 375°F to 400°F.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine softened butter, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped herbs, salt, and black pepper. Mix until creamy and smooth.
  3. Husk the corn, removing all silk strands, and pat dry if needed.
  4. Spread about 1 tablespoon of the herb butter evenly over each ear of corn.
  5. Tear off four large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil, about 12 inches long each.
  6. Place one ear of corn in the center of each foil sheet and wrap tightly, sealing all edges to create a secure packet.
  7. Place the foil packets on the preheated grill and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, turning every 5 minutes with tongs to ensure even cooking.
  8. Carefully remove the packets from the grill and let cool for a couple of minutes before opening.
  9. Serve immediately, optionally garnished with extra fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon.

Notes

For a bit of char, open the foil packets during the last 2 minutes and place the corn directly on the grill grates for a quick sear. Use European-style butter for creamier texture or substitute with olive oil or coconut oil for a dairy-free version. Husk corn completely and remove all silk to avoid burning. Turn packets regularly for even cooking.
