So How Do YOU Grill Your Corn?

[EricD]

Yeah, forgot about that one......



cobettes, rolled in chile powder, wrapped, a pat of butter on top near the end......smoked is even better than straight grilled.....

I tried this yesterday.  Pharkin' awesome!!!!!  Great idea.  Definitely in the 'keep' recipes.

I got that from a guy named Rick, better known as Canadian Bacon, a major contributor at the Smoke Ring......he's up in Canada somewhere near MacEggs.........A killer cook, he is.....

Rick is a pretty smart guy! I never woulda of thought to wrap corn in bacon.  I was a bit skeptical.  But, it's bacon.  Bacon makes everything better!  I got some strange, doubtful looks from the wife and friends that were over, but all agreed, it's a great new way to amp up boring corn on the cob.
Thanks for posting!

Did you happen to roll them in mild chile powder.....that's what I used (California chile powder) & they are not hot at all when done........that, and thin enough bacon to get it to "meld" to the corn are the two things I noticed makes them come out better.....

I did.  I used a store brand "Mexican Chile Powder".  I didn't roll them, I sprinkled because I was afraid of getting too much heat.  But cooked, it seems like it took the heatt out of the chile powder and gave it a really nice flavor profile.

I like to get the corn naked, then wrap it in foil with butter and salt/pepper.  Throw it on the grill for 20 minutes and enjoy.
